    Liz Phair: exile in bitterville

    Rocker Liz Phair responds to Meghan O'Rourke's scathing NYT review of her eponymous album with a bizarre letter to the editor: "Once upon a time there was a writer named Chicken Little. Chicken Little worked very hard and took her job very seriously. Often, she even wrote. One day, just as Chicken Little was about to have an idea, she heard something falling on her roof. 'The sky is falling! The sky is falling!' she shrieked, spilling green tea and vodka all over her work station. This commotion awoke her three readers, who lived with her in her hut, and all three rushed outside to see what had happened to the sky." I guess "my album does not suck," would have been too simple.
