    I'm 70 and a long ago hockey player - and the STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS ARE ON - I chose listening to this oover over watching the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes [ I will get to that] - as I am a Billie super-admirer [as an aside, Triple j 16 yr. old Billie's cover of Michael Jackson's 'Bad' is classic , it's awesome - try to invite, encourage, entice, her into doing another cover of someone in 2025 for "Like A Version"] - For me as someone who truly treasures Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, S&G, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven - I truly believe, Billie is not just another pop artist, she is a hapax phenomenon - a generational artiste guided by a muse who blesses all sorts of people.

Thats the main reason I became a fan in the first place. I love the relatability and I love that she's creating what she wants. This album was not my favorite, but I still recognize the growth in her voice and style of creation, and I love that she created something she can appreciate and share with her supporters 🥹💞
