Jan 25 2009	Who do you bang? - Part Deux
By Bruce Paine \| Comments (9) \| Hype It Up! \| Filed Under: Bruce Paine Archive \| Featured \| Misc.

Every once in a while I like to offer a question for consideration. The question for the day is thus:

Which 90's alt-rock/folk singer would you rather bang, Sheryl Crow or Alanis Morissette?

You can't jump to google to check out pictures or wiki their age or preferences. You just have to answer with your instinctual read and knee-jerk reaction. Like all of my questions, the righteousness or wrongness of an answer is in the reason, not the report, so you have to back it up. I will give you a day to respond and then I will add the correct answer later tonight.
