Point taken about crafting an image. Difference
is...Jagger and Strummer have talent and drive. I
know, I know...too negative.
Again, time will tell, but that girl doesn't have the
discipline. She's a studio creation, (another Filter
quote: During her Mediterranean party sojourn, Lily
met her manager, who in turn introduced her to the
production duo Future Cut.) which is odd because she's
obviously trying to rebel against something (perhaps
her tosser dad?) She even got pregnant! OOOH, she's
so naughty and "street"
bleh.
I know, I know...difference of opinion. You (not
Stewart specifically) won't convice me to like her, I
won't convice you to not like her.
