Thanks for the compliment!
I actually have never seen the show. The first time I ever heard that song was when I was taking voice lessons in my 20s. The lady who had the hour ahead of mine was singing it. She was middle aged. Our teacher was telling her she needed to be “bitchier”.
I forgot all about “Ladies Who Lunch” until several years later, when I downloaded the movie Camp on a whim. It’s a number in the movie, which is about theater gang kids at a musical theater camp. Anna Kendrick plays a back-stabbing and overly ambitious conniver who literally steals this song from another high maintenance singer. It was so funny!

I am just so over everything in the news… all the whining and meanness and people just being jerks. So when I got an insult from a lover of a certain former president, it made me feel like channeling my angst somewhere besides the written word.
I am still working on guitar, but I can’t yet jam with conviction.
