Playboy Mommy
“I was pregnant,” she softly states. “I got pregnant on tour, it was a surprise, but I was deeply thrilled about it. I was almost three months pregnant… Christmas ‘96… and I miscarried. And it was very difficult. The sorrow was just really deep. I know some people who’ve gone through it and they move on quickly. Everybody responds differently to a loss. I got quite attached to the spirit of this being….It was a girl. That’s why on Playboy Mommy, I sing, Don’t judge me so harsh little girl. I had so many responses to it before I could get to the place where I am now. You see people hit their kids in stores and you just go, What force of judgment gives these people these little lives? I have a lot of questions right now. I know it’s a free-will planet. Things happen. But you know that saying, Bad things don’t happen to good people? That’s a painful lie, and it hits you on such a core level. I know now that I have an appreciation for the miracle of life that I didn’t have, but I don’t believe in the saying that it all happens for the best… it’s just not appropriate.”
