She sounds like she doesn't have a very interesting diary.
Stupid questions!
I wish Leonard hadn't glossed over the title, assuming the audience had heard her before. Yes, she's been on the circuit, and yes, I had heard part of an interview with her elsewhere, but not that part. As we are often listening with many distractions, it is not only something that could be heard again but sometimes the author is in a different mood and relates something of a different nature. It's not as if she's being asked to sing her signature song for the thousandth time.
she sounds like she doesn't really want to talk at all!
Oddly enough, I in fact can see several reasons why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot, but I guess I don't count.
Note for Americans: the term 'guy', which so many American men desperately want to embrace as a self-descritpion, originally referred to an outrageous-looking dummy (surrounded by flaming faggots, no less).
