...I must confess that girl can really sing, and her re-make of "First Cut" is amazing, to my ears, at least.  Sorry, I really love her music...her personal stuff, aside.

Sheryl Crow can really sing?!!? The Beatles did too many drugs? Both you and Sheryl could use a good deal more, it would seem... You really love her 'music,' huh? But then, you "still don't own a White Album or Let it Be, and don't care to." I think that speaks volumes about why you might love such tripe. And I was down on her before the TNMC scandal hit so this has nuthin' to do with toadyism; I just really think she's overtly banal, musically and otherwise. She dated Kid Rock for Gawd's sake...
