@[ron1000001:34087] Agreed. If anything, this woman is simply fishing for anything she might get. She's coming on friendly...not like a real pro. I always thought she was just poor, came from poor, maybe from a reservation (get $$ from a 4 lane highway deal?), and raised on robbery is both a great alliterative lyric, title and poetic descriptor of the hard scrabble life she's faced. And "You're mean when you're loaded!" is just the best, sweetest send-off anyone was given in such a situation usually loaded with F-bombs. Not to mention all her dialog is in rhyming couplets...superb. |
