I saw her perform "Me and a Gun" live and everyone around me was crying. It's a powerful song and the fact she performed it live and shared that experience with us was hard to believe.

Thanks to Neil Gaiman getting me on the guest list, I've been able to see her twice, once in Athens and once in Atlanta. Her live performances are amazing.
