Might need some clarification – “Wicked” can mean “evil” but to the Brits can also mean “mischievous”. In North America the term “trickster” is also used, partly to remember the tricksters of folk tales such as coyote, raven, brer rabbit, anansi, loki, etc., who play pranks on others for the purpose of enlightenment, or to teach an important lesson.
Brings back happy memories of grandma, who was the British form of wicked. 🙂

A label is just that. Which is to say I do not disagree. For who am I after all? 🙂
Ah, what more can I say, Ms. Music? A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse. 😉
