The sad truth is that most fans of musicians expect music to save and fulfill the musician's life. As our careers roll on, this idea is loaded. Although we are all willing to be underpaid by listeners for our work to be heard, the burden is on our families to keep us alive. - I

Kavanaugh is a petty, small, insecure loser. His conduct in the hearing alone is enough to prove he’s unqualified. Not to mention he’s likely a creep in deeply suppressed denial. Republicans total suppression of their own counsel is telling. - I

It’s almost an immediate turnoff to frame an artist in the shadow/context of a more famous spouse/relative, esp for women. That being said, the new @amandashires album is great. Go listen and buy her concert tickets. - I
