My role model and biggest creative influence.. her art & compassion continuously inspires me. Funny, this morning I woke up and the first record I listened to was Easter before I even realized it was her birthday :)
I keep my ear to the ground but sometimes I'm really late putting certain things together.. example, the beloved Patti Smith sings backup on one of my favorite REM songs, E-Bow the Letter.. moving song, beautiful video.. what a wonderful surprise.
