Question
Hi Howard! I like Alanis a lot! She's an awesome singer. I'm about to record an album, too, and I get my inspiration from her. I have a question to ask you...as far as I know, Alanis has an older brother and a twin brother (no sisters) so I wanted to know if she dedidcates the song "Sister Blister" to somebody. Thank you!

Answer
Hi Paola,

No one knows for sure who "Sister Blister" was written for. Many assume, based on the lyrics, that Alanis is talking about another female singer that she obviously hadn't been getting along with. Some fans say it's Courtney Love because of all the trash Love talked on Alanis. Still, we can't be too sure. But you are correct in knowing she has two brothers and no sisters.

Sorry I couldn't give you more information, but it just doesn't exist at the current time!

Yours in Alanis help,
Howard

Expertise

I am quite familiar with both the life and music of singer Alanis Morissette. I have been following her since 1995 (when her "Jagged Little Pill" album was released), and know a lot about her!

Experience

I am not sure what "area" you mean. I am assuming this is my knowledge of Alanis. Most people I know personally are always curious about my main musical interest, and constantly try to challenge me with tricky questions. So far, however, no question has gotten at me yet.
