pasc96 's review for:

Lady Sings the Blues by Billie Holiday
3.0

"I've been told that nobody sings the word 'hunger' like do. Or the word 'love'...All I've learned is wrapped up in those two words. You've got to have something to eat and a little love in your life before you can hold still for any damn body's sermon on how to behave. Everything I am and everything I want out of life goes back to that."

It's been 60 years since Holiday published her autobiography, and we still haven't internalized this lesson.
