Santigold was 32 when she released her debut album in 2008 - she is currently 47. Fuck yeah. Defo inspired by Musical Youth - raggae / her voice mirrors the higher pitch voice of these guys.

The Lethargarians, inhabitants of the Doldrums "Well, if you can't laugh or think, what can you do?" asked Milo. "Anything as long as it's nothing, and everything as long as it isn't anything," explained another. "There's lots to do; we have a very busy schedule- "At 8 o'clock we get up, and then we spend "From 8 to 9 daydreaming. "From 9 to 9:30 we take our early midmorning nap. "From 9:30 to 10:30 we dawdle and delay. "From 10:30 to 11:30 we take our late early morning nap. "From ll:00 to 12:00 we bide our time and then eat lunch. "From l:00 to 2:00 we linger and loiter. "From 2:00 to 2:30 we take our early afternoon nap. "From 2:30 to 3:30 we put off for tomorrow what we could have done today. "From 3:30 to 4:00 we take our early late afternoon nap. "From 4:00 to 5:00 we loaf and lounge until dinner. "From 6:00 to 7:00 we dillydally. "From 7:00 to 8:00 we take our early evening nap, and then for an hour before we go to bed at 9:00 we waste time. "As you can see, that leaves almost no time for brooding, lagging, plodding, or procrastinating, and if we stopped to think or laugh, we'd never get nothing done." "You mean you'd never get anything done," corrected Milo. "We don't want to get anything done," snapped another angrily; "we want to get nothing done, and we can do that without your help." "You see," continued another in a more conciliatory tone, "it's really quite strenuous doing nothing all day, so once a week we take a holiday and go nowhere, which was just where we were going when you came along. Would you care to join us?" "I might as well," thought Milo; "that's where I seem to be going anyway."

A Checklist for Evaluating Maturity
The difficulties of coping are much more effectively met when we ourselves reflect attitudes of mature adults. A mature adult is one who:
1. Does not automatically resent criticism, realizing that it may contain a suggestion for self-improvement.
2. Knows that self-pity is futile and childish–a way of placing the blame for disappointments on others.
3. Does not readily experience a loss of temper or “fly off the handle” about trifles.
4. Keeps calm in emergencies and deals with them in a logical, reasonable fashion.
5. Accepts responsibility without blaming others when things go wrong.
6. Accepts reasonable delays without impatience, realizing that some adjustment for the convenience of others is necessary.
7. Is a good loser, accepting defeat and disappointment without complaint or ill temper.
8. Does not worry unduly about things that can’t be changed.
9. Doesn’t boast or “show off” when praised or complimented, accepts it with grace, appreciation and without false modesty.
10. Applauds others’ achievements with sincere goodwill.
11. Rejoices in the good fortune and success of others having outgrown petty jealousy and envy.
12. Listens courteously to the opinions of others even when they hold opposing views; does not enter into hostile argument.
13. Doesn’t find fault with “every little thing” or criticize people who do things differently.
14. Makes reasonable plans and tries to carry them out in orderly fashion; does not do things on the spur of the moment without due consideration.
15. Shows spiritual maturity by–
· accepting the existence of a HP and recognizing the importance of this Power in life.
· realizing each person is part of mankind as a whole and has much to give; that each of us has an obligation to share with others the gifts that have been bestowed upon us.
· obeying the spirit of the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
