@1 - I really enjoy this column and for a second I also thought that this iteration was about her pretending to like Nickelback, for which I would have lost all respect of the author. There are somethings you just cannot and should not fake. Instead, I'm now interested in checking out Nickel Creek. Keep on rock'n Kathleen.
Pavement, huh. I was guessing they would come up up as subject of one of this series, instead.
