Her mere presence can defuse a tense situation and bring a castrating truce to male-generated violence. The mama is not afraid of confrontation as she's seen a lot of **** in her life, and as she's seen almost everyone around her when they were still in diapers. A mama's words can neutralize several guns at once, and, when scolded by a mama, even a feared gang leader shrinks back to the status of a child and may be seen hanging his head in shame.
sounds more like Christine in Mac's heyday, no?

[wine in the face "do not ever do this to this band again!"]

too bad Christine doesn't seem to exert that kind of power over the band anymore. we'd have that album in our hand already if she did!
