I like her music okay, but she seems to have Tori Amos disease: legions of squeeing fangirls who wear their inner turmoil and resultant psychic scars on their sleeves. Like, why can't I like the music without identifying publically with some level of "pain?" Maybe it's just me and the lingering after-effects of living in a feminist compound. (I'm a loud'n'proud feminist, but there are some competitive aspects within assorted sociopolitical ideologies that make me irritable).
Also, PJ's frailties and tremulous delicacy seems a bit cultivated. And finally, that Bust interview really cheesed me off. I mean, people must have been asking her about feminism for the last 12 years and even if she isn't into feminism, I would have had much more respect for her if she had answered with anything other than a dim "duh, I don't think I know what that means." Chrissie Hynde is a non-feminist who has an articulate reply on the subject that states her philosophy and also corks up further commentary.
In sum: I like Rid of Me.
