Where has Tracy Chapman been? [lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social]
I don't think most people understand how big of a deal it is that Tracy Chapman performed Fast Car at the Grammys. She wrote that song in 1988. Cars were MUCH slower back then. So when she got up on that stage, everyone watching thought "Uh oh, does she even know what a fast car is anymore?" But Tracy knocked it out of the park. She showed the world that 36 years later she can still sing about faster cars than we can even imagine.

But my favorite is Cold Feet. Brutal song. Beautiful song.

This is the only take on the Grammys worth reading.
2My first car maxed at 55mph. It was a very old piece of crap that was sold to us after the meter had been flipped. Only 25k miles my ass. Luckily I had an accident and it was totaled. My mechanic, who passed the car as a favor because he was friend said "Oh, thank god". Anyway, Tracy Chapman rocks!!!
