Denice Franke is a sensitive and compelling singer and songwriter.

If you forget the words to your own song, you can always claim artistic license. Forget the words to the national anthem and you're screwed.

Somehow you can tell the difference when a song is written just to get on the radio and when what someone does is their whole life. That comes through in Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson. There is no separating their life from their music.

Fortunately, I've never had a job

If it's not too late, make it a cheese-burger

I don't know what it is about the shower that generates creative thoughts. Maybe it's the hot water. Maybe it's being unencumbered even by the restriction of clothing.

Kemo Sabe, kiss my ass.
