This song will be more fitting in two years when its composer turns 64.

Speaking of music, I just bought Norah Jones' second CD (Feels Like Home),
the first of hers for me. She is quite talented, not only as a singer, but
also as a pianist and songwriter. The lyrics of the few songs she penned
are much more sophisticated in both words and meter than most popular
music, and indeed the music I usually listen to.

I don't understand though how a teenager (she released her first CD at 21)
becomes interested in this kind of music. I certainly wasn't.

I also don't understand how her music sells tens of millions of CDs. I
thought Brittney and Christina were who appealed to the masses.
