Sounds Like
MAZZY STAR has a nightcap with NICO at La Esquina. BJORK is on the jukebox. In walks the AIR with ghost of NINA SIMONE on their back and TOM WAITS follows. They begin to arm wrestle. Tom can easily take on both members of AIR with just a growl but the ghost of the priestess of soul, Nina, steps in with a howling vibratto, giving Air more bicep strength. Just as Air is about to win, PATTI SMITH appears and sides with Tom, then the PRETENDERS side with Air. Both sides give up as they realize there's no point in taking sides. In the opposite corner of the bar, BLOND REDHEAD is making out with SONIC YOUTH, FLAMING LIPS argue with the PIXIES over whether Kim or Kazu is hotter. DAVID BOWIE insists they are both just as hot in their own individual way. ZERO 7 buys a round of tequila shots for everyone. They all dance till dawn.

Thanks for making me listen to your music! I really liked your voice and your style! Thank you very much! To listen to you sing was a gift to my ears and lit up my day. From today I declare myself your admirer.Regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina
I live among the happy tears where laughter overcomes all the little painful claws of a life that seems undone. And when the hurt of sorrows grow like thorns along this path, I kiss the sky and hug the sun remembering no more wrath. For I have seen the willows weep and leaves fall like rain with no comparing to the joy it brings when mention of your name. I live among the happy tears and it’s just where I want to be, for I have this amazing gift… it’s my precious friend, you see.
