Go Skins Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/08/entertainment/feat-jagged-little-pill-alanis-morissette-20/index.html (CNN)Alanis Morissette's album of siren songs for pissed-off chicks everywhere, "Jagged Little Pill," turns 20 this month. Way back in the summer of 1995, songs like "You Oughta Know," "Hand In My Pocket" and "You Live" spoke to a certain type of girl who felt all of her feelings and didn't mind broadcasting them. The album took MTV by storm and would go on to sell 13 million copies in the U.S. Morissette's confessional lyrics gave fans permission to talk openly about oral sex, masturbation, unhealthy romantic attachments and mommy and daddy issues -- the stuff good girls and boys keep under wraps. Pull out the old CD and have a listen -- the songs are still fresh. "I thank sweet baby Jesus that I can actually perform these songs," Morissette, 41, said at the Elle Women in Music Awards in Hollywood last month. "There's timelessness to it for me that I can actually stand by these lyrics still. Thank God. Because otherwise, I probably wouldn't want to."
