Everyone said Cassie was a promising young woman ... until a mysterious event abruptly derailed her future.

  • Quotes
    [when being called homophobic] It's so ironic because gay bashers were the ones labeling me in high school. I try and write satire that's well-intentioned. But those intentions have to be hidden. It can't be completely clear and that's what makes it comedy.
    • Ironic lyrics revolving around subjects such as rape, sex, gay jokes, etc
