Holiday > Stone. And, yes, I've known about her, but Joss Stone isn't ever going to have the potential that Holiday had at seeing a lynched man in a tree. Sincerity of life in the time kind of thing. Lorca called it "Duende" from the Spanish Flamenco men he rolled around with. Adele has a great voice but her biggest grief in life is something most of us went through in High School and got over pretty quickly. Somewhere in the past decade bad oxymoron became acceptable and that's just not cool cause it kills metaphors if done wrong. We need local radio back. Not what Clear Channel is doing.
