All time it's easily Stevie Nicks for me. As far as recent/modern acts go, it's Hayley Williams.

Believe it or not, my wife has been told by about 1,000 people that she's a dead ringer for Hoffs in that video.

There's a singer named Anne Marie that is the same way.....she has a thick British accent when she talks, but when she sings, you wouldn't even know she is British!

[DaVinci]

I know I posted her before but this is over the top

Too lazy to scroll, but figure this version wasn’t used. There’s so many great early career performances on Letterman:

drop the MIC Holy crap girlie DANG wow awesome Great FABULOUS I ❤️ you xo m

 

that was a power post. which is exactly like you. I have many friends who rae 10X smarter than me. I don't hate it I accept it. I'm just glad we are friends dang woman. 

 

To me  you sound like a NYC dweller who lives life to the fullest and knows a chit ton about EVERYTHING. and no baloney

 

I admit to the fact that I DO know how much I don't actually know. Hence the journey which happens when REAL discussions happen. 

 

off my soapbox, less is very often more

 

unless you're kay. my GF is a WRITER . and she does Not Hold BACK

 

BLABBY!! and so smart

 

lmaooo xooxox m

 

Muppy (and Two Bills Drive): “Less is very often more.”

Kay: “MORE is more!!!”

William Shakespeare: “Brevity is the soul of wit, Commie Kay.”

Kay: “Thou shalt shut thy filthy wh*re mouth, Zombie Bill.”

 

No, but I hear y’all…I think the natural constraints of poetry are probably healthier for me. Prose is where I tend to let my spiked mohawk hair down and really lose control. Speaking of words…

 

The Female Rocker Evaluation Committee should consider another dimension to our analyses: lyrics! My clear-cut favorite female rock lyricist has to be Regine Chassagne from Arcade Fire. She is a bona fide poet and is preternaturally soulful within a “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll” industry that typically treats the lyrics like an afterthought. If written properly, the lyrics are supposed to accentuate both the vocals and the instruments while driving you to very emotive places. “Haiti” and “Sprawl 2 (Mountains Beyond Mountains)” are a couple of my favorites, off the top of my head, among many others of Regine’s that do just that. Oh, and “In the Backseat” about her mother’s death…ugh…simple but powerful…she’s sooo good…

 

P.S. I do ADORE your compliments, of course, but your cognitive insecurities shock and sadden me. Know that the concept of “intelligence” is highly nuanced and fluid. Comparisons of it are ultimately kind of pointless, anyway. Your apparent curiosity, humility, open-mindedness, and efforts to surround yourself with people whose knowledge and talents kindle you is what matters in this life.

 

P.S.P.S. I unfortunately haven’t been able to spend much time lately enjoying NYC. Lots of work-related travel, plus the occasional out-of-town weekend hike or rock-climbing adventure. This month, however, I’ll be spending my weekends volunteering for Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral campaign! Woohoo!! You DON’T mess with The Zohran!

 

(P.S.)^3. Ugh…LOL…I just can’t help myself…as you know, I enjoy political subversion in the form of murderous literary imagery (or at least you do now, and to which PPP’s Leh-nerd can testify). So here’s a lyrical poem to commemorate my upcoming political canvassing efforts, with the rhythm set to “Abraham’s Daughter” by Arcade Fire (I’m sure the meter is out of whack, but whatevs…this is early morning online pro football message board subforum poetry, not The New Yorker):

 

Andrew took Zohran’s hand

And led him to Todt Hill,

While Zohran’s canvasser hid and watched.

She dared not breathe. She was so still.

 

Just as an oligarch donor cheered for the slaughter,

Zohran’s canvasser raised her voice.

 

Then the oligarch asked Kay what her name was.

Kay said, “I have none.”

Then the oligarch asked, “How can this be?!”

“ERIC ADAMS NEVER GAVE ME ONE.”

 

And with Andrew’s wallet up, raised for the slaughter,

Zohran’s canvasser raised her bow.

“How darest you, voter, defy your next mayor!”

“You better let young Zohran go.”
