i still think it's a bittersweet song, though. she also says in the interview that her father's career was held back because his daughter was the notorious grace jones. going from the song and some of her comments in interviews like this, it seems as if she has a little bit of sadness about that, but not quite enough for her to regret her decisions.

Great read nod

OH:

She's still super-fit, although admits she's happier in her skin today than she was back then. 'I'm 5ft 101/2in tall and was teased at school for being so skinny, so I'm glad I've finally been able to put a bit of weight on and be more curvy.'


We are the same height! touched

I can't tell for sure, but it seems like there are audio clips of her father preaching (including one right before the song "Corporate Cannibal" starts) where he says "And I don't need to tell you that Grace Jones is in the house" and people start cheering. Really interesting yet an odd intro to a song like CC (although maybe it works because a song like CC is almost only something Grace could do.

And I'll have to read that interview later. Sounds great.

Even Ask Billboard is suggesting US fans to get the import, doesn't seem it's getting a US release...

I'm liking "Williams' Blood" a lot! music

That Ask Billboard is sometimes pretty interesting. I'll have to check that out. I'm really loving the album. Easily the best of the year!
