[ QUEEN OF MEAN (SOFTER SIDE) - A bit of a counter to my ICE QUEEN and other HARSH (fictional) trax. And a bit, while again fictionalized, touches upon my own harsher MEAN TUNES side many tune in for but not often see/hear/review my SOFTER SIDE. Bit of a follow up, therefore, too, to my I KNOW (TIMES I GO TOO FAR) track and SchizNORENic piece, we all have bits and pieces, sometime contradictory, that make up the WHOLE of our Character and not all see all our sides!
