You were famous, your heart was a legend.
You got away, didn’t you baby? You just turned your back on the crowd.
-“Chelsea Hotel No. 2” by Leonard Cohen
In the quiet morning
there was much despair
and in the hours that followed
no one could repair
that poor girl
tossed by the tides of misfortune
barely here to tell her tale
rolled in on a sea of disaster
rolled out on a mainline rail
She once walked right at my side
I’m sure she walked by you
her striding steps could not deny
torment from a child who knew
that in the quiet morning
there would be despair
and in the hours that followed
no one could repair
that poor girl
she cried out a song so loud
it was heard the whole world round
a symphony of violence
the great southwest unbound
- “In the Quiet Morning” by Mimi Farina
Rest in peace, beautiful Amy. You’ll never be forgotten.

As much as I love her, listening to her music just makes me want to stop singing altogether. Who can measure up?
noel stop you look like a tortoise
That is the most terrifying tortoise I’ve ever seen. I can’t even think about Noel, I’m going to be having nightmares.
