Actually, the subject/verb agreement in Thrown Down could have been fixed fairly easily without pulling any of the punch out. If she had written the whole thing in the first and second person, it would have been more powerful. And since I've already written at length about my bias against writing songs in the third person, I'll leave it that.
The double negatives are far less offensive than the "should have ran" debacle of "Smile at You." Double negatives in rock 'n roll are just par for the course.
Be that as it may, I can't get to no clips while I'm at work. So I'll have to wait till tonight.
