Alanis Morissettes Jagged Little Pill struck a sympathetic chord with millions of listeners, because its so doggedly, determinedly insular. | As slick as the music is, the lyrics are unvarnished and Morissette unflinchingly explores emotions so common, most people would be ashamed to articulate them. | Alanis is happy to help 15 million girls of many ages stick a basic feminist truth in our faces: privileged phonies have identity problems too. Not to mention man problems. Alanis Morissette was robbed on a deserted street by a man with a gun. After the robbery, Morissette developed an intense and general angst and suffered daily panic attacks. She was hospitalized and attended psychotherapy sessions, but it didnt improve her emotional status. As Morissette later revealed in interviews, she focused all her inner problems on the soul-baring lyrics of the album for her own health. According to Morissette, Ballard (producer and songwriter) was the first collaborator who encouraged her to express her emotions. https://youtube/watch?v=N1WCBPiFosg
