It would stand to reason that anyone who creates a posting-name from the main characters of the ridiculous show "Cats" would have questionable judgement with regards to Ms. Phair's recent album. (Though originally from a TS Eliot book of poems...a "Jellico Cat" will forever now be known as as a "singing and dancing cat" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's questionably creative attempt at the modern-day musical.)

I would hope in this day and age where MOST of us do have a college education that we realize artists don't create their work based on their audience's idea of what their art should be (save a few exceptions who are promoted as "producer-based" groups like Backstreet Boys, etc...) Artists create what they create because it is part of who they are AT THE TIME...whether we like them or not.

Clearly, you are not grooving with Liz this time 'round. Perhaps you can form a "bummed-about-Liz Phair's-new-album" support group with your other kitty friends, Skimbleshanks and Rumpleteaser. Or maybe, Old Deuteronomy can help you find the heavy-side layer like he did for Grizabella, the Glamour Cat.

Either way, I am sure Liz will not be heartbroken over the loss of the likes of you.

Very well said, QueerGirl! My take is that if Jellico Cat (stupid ass name) is not a fan, fine. But, jeeeezus, Jellico, why rain on the parade of people who do like and appreciate her? Try having another listen in between your various renditions of "Memories" - maybe you'll get it this time around (but I doubt it).
