She's a caterwauling wreck, a mainframe glitch, a whinnying old horse, a ship hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantic, an exploding roadside bomb, a subducting oceanic plate, a late-night infomercial, a fingernail on a blackboard, etc. etc. on Tusk & Bella Donna. She hasn't turned in a decent vocal since "In the Dawn" in 1970.

But we're still friends, John.
