Photo and autograph courtesy of the G Archives. Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Happy birthday to Ms. Lauryn Hill. Over the years, I foolishly believed a lot of rumours about her that I heard on the internet and I judged her harshly without ever doing research to see if they were indeed true.

Get it? No? Oh well. [...]
