WELL I AM A MASSIVE PATTI FAN SINCE AN EARLY AGE (MY DAD WAS A FAN). I AM 22
AND HAVE ALWAYS HEARD HER MUSIC. I AM NOT SAYING THAT SHE IS SELLING, AND AM
SAYING I DON'T WANT HER TO DO SO. AND OF COURSE SHE NEEDS TO SELL RECORDS,
IF SHE WANTS TO EXIST, SHE NEEDS TO BE COMMERCIALY VIABLE.
AND FOR THE STORY, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN IS AN ORIGINAL AND A JERSEY GUY, SO....
