don't hate girl don't hate lyrics
If you're still looking, that's from Gold Digger by Mr Kanye West and is a good line to sing to your fella when you are trouncing him at Dominoes.

I've never considered Sinead to be a hippie. More of a free spirit.

how do you know if narrator is reliable
This, my friends, is a tricky question. How DO you know if a narrator is reliable? You can't rely on everyone to be as honest as me and declare it in the title. You have to rely on textual clues. How do other characters react to the narrator? How do the narrator's actions back up his/her words? But really, ultimately, there is no way to conclusively know if a narrator is reliable, I would argue that you can't even be sure of a third person narrator as they can be the biggest liars of all. It's all about perception and perception is always skewed one way or the other, there's just no way to know for sure who's telling you lies. Everything has the potential to become a twisty noir narrative if you look into it deeply enough. All narration is flawed. That's the beauty of stories.

modigliani grave
It's in Pere Lachaise cemetery and it is pretty nondescript. His lover Jeanne Hebuterne's grave is next to him. She jumped out a window shortly after he died. They had a very tempestuous relationship and were famous for their arguments

    1. Yes, Sinead is more of a free spirit... with little or no hair on her head.

    2. I have the original Bubble & Scrape issue... but I am not cooler than you, just older.
