Adele is British? She doesn’t sing with an English accent. She sounds like she’s from Louisiana with a mint julep in one hand and a burning cigarette in the other.

Blood is thicker than water, they say. Oh, really? What about those rich families who disown their children and leave them nothing? Zilch, Nada. Disowning children is a popular pastime among many cultures to make family trees look like twigs.
