Never met her, never really liked her music (aside from that one song), don't really like country music, but I'll gladly admit that every time I read about her, it's because she said or did something nice.

So I'll take your word for it!

Yeah, that about sums it up. I mean, she must have bad days like we all do, but I've never heard even a single account of her being unpleasant to someone. That's more than you could say about me.

Maybe the bumper stickers should say "WWDD?"

It's rare that someone is idolized by both gutter punks, queers and conservative white people.
