I love Jill Sobule’s style!
Jill had a song a few years back called “I Kissed A Girl”.
Katy Perry, an American singer, had 2008 success with her tune also called “I Kissed A Girl”.
Just the title was the same.
Jill’s song is so much better.
“F**King Little Slut”
I just read an article where Jill is quoted as saying this about Katy:
“F..k you Katy Perry, you f..king stupid, maybe ‘not good for the gays’, title-thieving, haven’t-heard-much-else-so-not-quite-sure-if-you’re-talented, f..king little slut.”
Ha!
And I thought us Aussies were straight forward and direct!
Jill Has Done A Couple Of Things
I’d suspect that Jill has done a couple of things here:
- Done the interview with her tongue firmly in her cheek
- Seen this strategy as an excellent way to gather some publicity for herself
Nice work. It’s Marketing 101 – Grab attention.
(I’d be pretty confident on # 1 and not at all confident on # 2.)
But Jill’s Done More – And It’s Even More Brilliant
I then followed a few links about Jill Sobule and found her brilliantly developed strategy to fund her latest album.
In just 53 days Jill raised the $75,000 needed by engaging her fans and giving some beautifully thought-out gifts in exchange for the cash.
Go and have a listen to the album “California Years” and then buy it.
I like your style Jill. You could well be Australian. (And yes, I do know Rupert took you up to his room – he used to be an Aussie, so you’re in good company.)
Cheers
Brendon
P.S: Some more of Jill.
