“Window Seat Thoughts..

…Okay it seems that people are totally missing the message of the song and video, listen to the message at the end of the video and make your own decision ……what I took away from it was that she is evolving and had to leave her old self  behind to find herself, she evolved and I find it funny that people are missing the message and are focusing on her nudity and it being the area where JFK was assasinated….you know what…. sometimes you have to speak loudly so people can hear you, you have to touch people so people can feel you….and sometimes you have to communicate in a visual manner so people can understand you
