\nAimee Mann is proof positive that pretty girls can make great music. Usually you have to go back to Stevie Nicks, but she wasn’t the artist solo that she was with Fleetwood Mac. Kate Bush is another example; “pretty” doesn’t have to mean “vulnerable”. It can mean power, the equal or greater of its masculine counterpart. Elvis Presley wasn’t known as an uggo.<\/p>\n

Like Elvis, Aimee Mann is naturally beautiful; back when she was punky, it seemed like the typical behavior of a girl who wants to downplay her looks to be taken seriously. If there’s one thing I enjoy in life, it’s being stopped cold by a woman’s face. I don’t know how much of it is aesthetic appreciation, and how much is chemical because I’m hetero, but there are female eyes out there that could distract me into the path of a speeding train. Aimee Mann has a pair of them.<\/p>\n

I’m not trying to make her husband, Michael Penn, mad at me. I’m sure he gets this all the time. I’d just start raving about his score for Boogie Nights<\/em> (here we go again), which is incredible (listen at the very beginning and ending), and how he starred in one of the most amazing and hysterical scenes in film history, alongside Mark Wahlberg, John C. Reilly, and Robert Downey Jr’s dad.<\/p>\n
