Sarah McLachlan
A popular singer-songwriter from Vancouver, Canada. Her first album, the new age "Touch," was released in 1988. Her two most critically acclaimed albums were 1991's "Solace" and 1993's "Fumbling Towards Ecstacy," the follow-up records to her debut. Unfortunately, she hasn't made an album as good as either of the two since. Her next endeavor, "Surfacing," sold over 6,000,000 copies in the United States and spawned four hits on pop radio, including the ASPCA theme "Angel." McLachlan hit a career low with 2003's "Afterglow," which was universally panned by critics, despite selling over 2,000,000 copies in the United States. After the platinum success of 2006 Christmas album "Wintersong," McLachlan finally released a new album of original material in 2010, "Laws of Illusion." In the past few years, Sarah McLachlan has essentially become the female equivalent of Bono. She constantly preaches out to the public to donate money for abused animals or musically-deprived children, but does so at the expense of her own artistic qualities.
Person A: Have you heard that new Sarah McLachlan single, "Find Your Voice"? It's so great that she's helping out those poor children!
Person B: It’s good for those kids, but I'd take "Into the Fire" or "Possession" any day over that song.

The McLachlan Effect

"I can never listen to "Surfacing" again without thinking of one-eyed puppies due to The Mclachlan Effect."
"I can't let my niece watch the Muppets anymore since Kermit creeped me out with his reaction to "2 Girls 1 Cup".

Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

TLDU
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
Me: Woah! TLDU!
