I just made my wife read this excerpt and she said a mutual friend once leafed through her CD book and exclaimed, "How are you not a lesbian?!"

"I can't remember which section it was," she said.

"Oh, Ani DiFranco," I said.

"No."

"Indigo Girls."

"YES!"

At which point I put on "Closer to Fine" and realized that that chorus will give me goosebumps every. single. time.
