"When I was just a little girl, I asked my mother, what should I be..."
Yes to Dark 'n Stormies, yes to walking into the club just as they started up "All of Me", yes to spending almost the whole time writing, yes to the last two hours of the set talking shop with a poet from Hoboken who Just Didn't Give a Shit about what anyone else thought, yes to Eric, the music-business-grad-school trumpet player who was The White ( Read more... ) -
"Oh, Valerie Plame, if that really is your name, I would shout the same to the wo-o-orld..."
