Not Afraid To Speak Up
A woman who had a drunken one-night stand and later found out she had AIDS was the subject of “She Thinks His Name Was John,” a song that appeared on Reba’s 1994 album. She did not avoid discussing what was a highly controversial subject at the time. In her songs, she also spoke out against the mistreatment of the elderly, illegal immigration, mercy killing, and domestic violence.
New Start
Reba, an artist for the past two decades, just dropped her nineteenth studio album. Despite being a compilation of her favorite songs, it was panned by critics. Only one of the album’s songs charted in the top ten. Despite this, the album was certified platinum in less than a year.
