Maybe I did go over the top with the "pig" comment. I never knew
her in any sense other than her music. I'm a person that is heavily
influenced by first impressions, and she didn't impress me at all.
So, in my respect for you, please accept my apology for the comment.
I'm sorry that you lost a friend.
Now I will get ready for the foot of snow that is coming my way starting
tomorrow(Saturday).
