Conversation: "Edith Piaf"
I was complaining to Jill about how the vocalist for The Donnas keeps the band from being the most awesome band in the world, because even in the songs where she sticks to her limited range, her voice is very flat. I love the band, but that’s something that has always kept them from going over the top.
ME: When your vocalist makes Joan Jett sound like Edith Piaf, you’ve got a problem.
JILL: Yep.
(pause)
ME: Yes, I just made a reference to an opera singer who was popular in the 40’s. SO WHAT?
JILL: You’re doing it wrong.
ME: (laughing) Really. What, exactly?
JILL: Everything. Life.
