In Miranda Lambert’s “Mama’s Broken Heart” video, the country star portrays someone ravaged by torment, who eventually dabbles in mind-altering substances, cuts her own hair and deviously inspects a kitchen knife. Basically, it’s about being crazy. But wait, don’t award her an MTV Moonman just yet, folks; the character Lambert was playing might not have […]
