People seem to either love or hate her based on what they know or don't know about her activism and life. I like all three songs you chose to highlight here but am partial to Peaceable Kingdom. It's her dedication to Rachel Corrie, who represents yet another set of controversial subjects people argue about.

For a minute there I had my Pattie's mixed up... flashin on "How Much is that Doggie in the Window?" & organic maple syrup... but that was Pattie Page! LOL. Both women icons with more talent than I could ever hope for. Nice selection Camille! :)

Now Sonya, you have me all worried if you get confused at BBQ's too.
