And just one more thing while the paint dries...
I'm still pissed about Jo-Ann Greene's review of 'Escape from Babylon.' Not the least of which being Greene calling my girl Martha, in a sneering sort of way, a "white American rocker."
Based on a couple of glances at photos of the woman (although not necessarily the one above -- I just liked the picture), plus the fact that her full name is Martha Carmen Josephine Hernandez Rosario de Velez, I'm taking the liberty of calling Ms. Velez a Latina. Not that it matters, necessarily. But when I sneer here on TYOMP I always feel like its more effective if I have my facts straight.
