Ludicris spelled right, by the way!

Catherine replies: I don't think it's the kids listening to
her. I think
it's the old farts (like me). I agree with you though
- she's pleasant, she's sweet, her singing is pretty,
the music is nice, but there's no edge. She's safe.


Not all of the people who listen to No Doubt, etc., would
not play Norah Jones - I know kids who have very broad
tastes - like a lot of us  - when I was a kid back in the
day, I could go from Joni to Steppenwolf to Quicksilver
Messengre Service not in the same minute maybe but in the
same hour :-)

But I think Catherine is exactly right on in her assessment
of Norah Jones.  She's safe.  That says it all.  She has
talent too in singing her safe songs.  But what does she
have to say?  Give me a Tracy Chapman 1,000,000 times over
a Norah Jones who writes her own songs and has something
she wants to communicate.
