Okay, any top 40 list that doesn't have Patty Griffin on it is rigged. Pure and simple. Rigged.

But, hey, from the 'rigged' list there are a few women who make my top 5. Martina McBride, oh yeah. And Luncinda! And Emmy Lou, of course... And Reba, oh Reba. Can that girl sell a song, or what?

But no Patty? What gives?

Yo, homeboy. Dick Clark involved in this thing?
