That Time Macy Gray Was Done With Vegetables
People love artichokes for their celery-like texture and asparagus-y flavor profile, but not everyone is a fan of the edible thistle. Most of the artichokes eaten in the US are farmed in California, which is probably why Macy Gray grabbed that hotel in New York when she wanted to get away from them.
Oh, sorry. Looks like the neo-soul singer was actually singing about losing a dear boyfriend rather than protesting artichokes. For some like u/birdcagegirl, it was difficult to tell the difference between “and I choke” and “artichoke.” After all, kicking veggies to the curb is a lot easier than letting go of a lover.
