Rickie Lee Jones was born in Chicago on 8 November, 1954. She settled in LA at the age of nineteen, doing the classic waiting tables stuff until she landed a recording contract with Warners. Her first album in 1979 was a big success, as was the single "Chuck E's in Love" about her musician friend Chuck E. Weiss. She won a Grammy for Best New Artist.

Altar Boy Lyrics
Rickie Lee Jones
A monk with a hard on in a lavender robe
That scratches his thighs for the height that he strode
As he follows a path filled with harried desire
And mimics his footsteps and sets his prayers on fire
Glad to have chosen that which left no choice
To sing without loving in a solitary voice
To observe with passion each careful denial
The protrusions which give my life meaning for a while
Sometimes I see you in embarrasing ways
Youre brushing your teeth with licorice seeds
Standing too close, holding your clothes
Smiling at god, the meaning of life grows
No, no Ill never tell and Ill never know
What candles you light after the show
And Ill never tell and Ill never ask
The meaning of life after mass
