It’s because k.d. Lang (her last name is capitalised) is a rather talented vocalist and has one of those voices that can do just about any song justice.
… while you weren’t looking, you were brainwashed by the “good taste” terrorists, who, while you were under hypnosis, also gave you a pedicure and thoroughly cleaned out those ‘potato growing’ ears of yours… sheesh.
K D Lang is good stuff, but I haven’t heard anything from her in years… of course, it would help if I didn’t listen to the oldies stations ( these days, they’re calling stuff from the late 80’s and early 90’s “oldies”).
