Quotes must be cited edit
Especially in articles about living people, all quotations must be referenced by an inline citation to a reliable source. That quote will have to be removed if it cannot be reliably sourced. And by the way, I tried to source it using links in several related articles, including the Dalbello page. I was unable to find any source for the quote. I'll return in a few days to cut and paste the quote to this talk page until it can be reliably cited. – Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX ) 21:17, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Following is the unsourced quote from the lede:
Lisa Dalbello says about the album:
Before I even began recording this album, I had written a poem called whore, which evolved into the pivotal song that became the foundation for the album .....the song whore is about the loss of self; and about the loss of self-esteem. It's about trading in your values.....selling out....in exchange for some kind of gain....whatever that may be--whether it's to be loved, to be accepted, to fit in, to climb a ladder of success...but ultimately, it's about power and powerlessness: The moment you place your self-worth into the hands of others, you devalue yourself...you prostitute yourself.
