There are Tiers, like a wedding cake: Geniuses: David Bowie and Prince. Amazing Creatures that Hatched: Cyndi Lauper and Bruce Springsteen (I am not kidding), the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Radio Head, Wire. Fallible Lovely Humans I Adore: Tindersticks, Iron and Wine, Jane's Addiction. The Song "Get Down on It" by Cool and the Gang changed my life once, as have many other songs I heard at the exact right moment in time
Project Runway and Six Feet Under (RIP)
Today my heroes are: My friend Ela, who is always right-on, with a cherry on top. Rene for knowing exactly who she is and always being exactly herself. Lara for moving to Chicago. My friend Tamara for going back to school. My friend BJ for going to HVAC repairman school. My friend Georgi for wearing a unitard fearlessly. My friends Jasper and Charlotte for spawning some of the most creative and amazing children I have had the pleasure of playing with, well before I was even capable of taking care of myself. Anna for being the most lovable bulldog who never stops fighting. Kessy for finding her calling and being a bad ass at it too. Kim for her grace. Dylan for her general bad-assness.
