I've always had obsessions with Historical figures.
I've always been interested in Queen Victoria, Anne Frank, Charles II and now the wife of Oliver Cromwell whose name was Elizabeth.
I've also had obsessions with fictional characters. |

The Cavaliers consisted mostly of the Upper Class whereas the Roundheads had lots of Middle and Working Class people... |

There are some Rap Songs that I can't stand but I don't mind a bit of Rap.
The songs I don't like are the ones with nasty lyrics.
But I don't mind cleaner Rap songs. |
