No, Liz Phair Did Not Keep Writing Great Songs

No.  Liz Phair can be reduced to three songs without really missing anything: "Fuck and Run" & "Supernova" & "Polyester Bride".  Anything else is pretty much filler; you get it all from those three.  Liz Phair's only other function is to torment some doctors and lawyers and school teachers into knowing that they were better singers with better songs--and maybe better boobs, too--and could play guitar better and knew all the best dirty words, too, but they didn't think anyone wanted to hear their dumb shit so they didn't bother.  Thanks, Trump.

Like A Youtube Clip Recorded Live In Your Room

In retrospect, Liz Phair really was just some spoiled kid recording youtube vids in her bedroom at her parent's house or in her dorm room.  Time hasn't been kind; she had one or two good songs--okay, three--and somehow kept it going for a while before it all went pear-shaped.  "Polyester Bride" played the part of the good song on the difficult third album.  (This tee vee show appearance was an excellent venue for Ms. Phair.)

Dirty, Dirty Flower

This is the original, homemade version with girlfriend instead of minions.  I guess being bisexual was too scary for Matador Records or somethin'.
