There's this theory,cliche out there that it's pain that makes us artists.I'm not disputing it.I've been through my fair share of stuff,like probably eeryone else on the planet,and I suppose that association of what makes an artist is what gives the guitar-slinging girl a head start.
That we got something in common,that we object to what's happened to us(coz by and large,I think being an artist is basically taking exception to what you been through).
That "commoness" thing is the reason for the head start.
And yes,iiholy,you are heartless.
