"I have never felt a spiritual connection to another person. I love my kids but thats with heart and soul - not a meeting of souls. When i was 20 I was given an indigo girls tape by a friend while we were in college in Rome . I love Emily too- but almost everything Amy writes makes me feel not so crazy , not so alone . I am a feminist, an activist, a lit & history nut, politically aware/ informed , writer & bisexual woman who tried real hard to be what my family wanted ( not gay/ not writer ) and at every lonely turn would be lyrics that said it would be alright - that someone else had walked these steps and made music and poetry from them and so could I. More than that is the sheer amazement and wonder of the world around us she shares with intelligence, insight , good humour and - okay the sexiest voice on the planet ( i tried to be above it but come on) . I consider her one of my lifes blessings and that puts her high on a list of some mind blowingly amazing gifts ."
