Love this: "Music made me see the cracks, though, and that was terrifying. Maybe that’s the whole point of music. Any good or decent art makes you question everything you thought before, I think."

I think that's the whole point of art, our writing included! <3

I bought Tracey Chapman's cassette in 1989. I wore it out. Her songs touched my soul and her lyrics shaped me as a writer. Yes, I write prose, and mainly articles, but still, they somehow affected me. I didn't think I would like the cover of Fast Car but I love it.

i admit i'm not going to queue up the duet but i did gain a new appreciation for it because of the grammy awards. he seems like a lovely man who very much understood what an honor it was to share the stage with her.
