Barbara EhrenreichLook at them. There are your true philosophers. I think that Mack and the boys know everything that has ever happened in the world and possibly everything that will happen.

They can satisfy their appetites without calling them something else.

Sherrilyn KenyonI've never thought about any kind of prejudice about women in country music because I never felt like it affected me.
