It’s been ten years since Meredith Brooks charted her only hit song, "Bitch". The song itself was one of those songs celebrating the essence of womanhood, or at least the essence of using being a woman as an excuse for mercurial mood swings and taunting a male if he couldn’t handle idiocy from his lover. You know, a retread of Sheryl Crow’s "Strong Enough To Be My Man", but without the remorse and with a dirty word as its name. Brooks charted with that song, but that’s it for her. Even Alanis Morissette got more than one single from the scthick.
So I was wondering today: Ten years later, who does Meredith Brooks hate to get mixed up with most?
- Meredith Baxter-Birney?
- Merril Bainbridge, whose 1994 song "Mouth" also was one word long but was upbeat and fun, something a even a guy could sing without feeling dirty:
- Elizabeth Wurtzel, author of the book Bitch: In Praise of Difficult Women:
- Burgess Meredith
- That one waitress at Applebee’s.
