Don't know for sure…Also, how much money you make doesn't make one a "yuppie"…it's more like your attitude…however, I think the term is kind of outdated and I, for one, am going to try to come up with something better and more appropriately descriptive to call those oblivious richer than me types

I thought her Unplugged album from last year was well received…but I don't know enough about her to say for certain. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>The Unplugged album (ahem…double album) was shite. 10 minute rambles showcasing shocking levels of pretension. Full-on self-destructive mode. That's a real concern for a talent like Norah Jones.
