Nothing horrible about Jim White. My son introduced me to his music a
few months ago. Enjoy.

No Nellie sounds like Julie London or Peggy Lee -- a female crooner, but the
songs are rap-like and very funny. It's certainly suitable for children. Erin has sad taste in music, that's all. Ignore her. Or try Jim White's "Wrong-Eyed Jesus" I love that even more than McKay.

So, Mike, I need some additional personal experience here -- did this indeed happen to you, when you listened to her? I'm more or less assuming from Erin's review that it is not, at least, suitable for children......

Don't listen to Mike. It's ghastly. Absolutely repulsive. You'll feel
like killing yourself for weeks afterwards. You'll wind up drinking a lot of
booze in an attempt to forget the wholly wretched experience and then likely
resort to antipsychotics, which, needless to say, will react poorly with the booze
you're consuming until one night you'll black out and wake up the next
morning in a tree seeing nothing but colours. For your own sake, don't do it. The
woman's despicable.
