    When the Army tried to take down Andrew Pogany, they messed with the wrong coward.

    By Joel Warner

Has there been much reaction to the use of such descriptive phrases as "selfish prick" and "stupid twat" in "Nothing I Do"?

"Twat" is a lot harsher word in America, isn't it? It's like the c-word, which I wouldn't dare say in front of you because I hear it's indecent. The "twat" word is one that people use a lot in London and it doesn't mean the same thing. [Laughs. ] I'm not sure how that song's going to go down in the States. Part of my thing is to write songs that have a kind of classic feel to them but really give themselves away in terms of the lyrics. And they're names that I've been called in my distant past, so I'm just telling the truth, man. — Julie Seabaugh
