Such Pretty Forks in the Road is the ninth studio album by Canadian-American singer, songwriter, and actress Alanis Morissette. It is Morissette’s first studio album in eight years. Morissette had been working on the album since at least mid-2017. But it was worth the wait.
Morissette was scheduled to embark on a world tour for the 25th anniversary of her 1995 album Jagged Little Pill in 2020, during which she would perform songs from her entire career, including songs from Such Pretty Forks in the Road.

There's one thing for certain about 2020. In the future, when reviewing old photographs, we will always know when the photo was taken in 2020. There will be masks worn and signs on businesses listing the number of customers allowed in the store at one time. Here's one of those 2020 photo examples. It's Book ReViews on South Main Street.
