It'll never make sense to me why people worship the wealthiest people on the planet, whose every action contradicts their values, thinking they are part of some populist movement, while in reality, are falling for obvious conmen who will use their power only to enrich themselves.

When Liz Phair released her 2003 self-titled album 20 years ago this Saturday, many people viewed it as a Shakespearean betrayal of her indie roots. A decade removed from her lo-fi rock opus Exile In...
