I’m a huge fan of sitcoms, from all eras. I know a bit too much about them, actually.
This draws from one of my favorite sitcoms, “Three’s Company.”

“Jean” Travers is a play on Dean Travers.

Dean Travers was the dean of Jack’s(John Ritter)cooking school. Great character.

Played by amazing actor, William Pierson (R.I.P.)
and of course, R.I.P. to John Ritter. <3

It’s been a great opportunity to either have students write papers on my songs, study them as part of a course, be invited to come and speak about my lyrics.

I thoroughly love and appreciate the fact that anything I’m writing can be discussed and dissected.
Yay, learning! Yay words!

Likening the way I operate to both being crazy
“she’s got a screw loose”

and the quickness of a prostitute having sex
“a loose screw”

in addition, I get straight to the point.

AND a reference to the Hunts Point area of The Bronx.
You may know of the Hookers At The Point HBO documentary from 2002.

I’ve read and heard a lot of stupid things about myself. The need to categorize me as “something” is always silly to me.
Most notably, I remember reading someone calling me a “tree hugging hippie.”

Umm…what exactly would give you that idea?
Is it my Birkenstocks?

My endless campaigns to ‘save The Trees’?

Right. No. Shut up.

Elin Nordegren. Tiger Woods. SCANDAL! “swoosh” would go the sound of the frying pan, “swoosh” goes the Nike swoosh

Tiger Woods, Nike… okay, you got it.
