Oh sure, but like, y’know. Honestly, for whatever reason, I haven’t really been able to enjoy her stuff much since the whole foofaraw settled down; hopefully the new album will be better so I can listen to Arular without cringing again, but even that might not be enough. Ideally she would modify her aesthetics and persona to match the changes in her private life and be more I’m from Hollywood than LOLO white America but I don’t think it’s going to happen. I mean, the weird thing is that, no matter how lame it might seem, her flipping the bird was actually offensive in that it offended people, so she might win on a technicality here.
