Janis Joplin's blues run through my veins, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers are responsible for the music that I call my home, Stevie Nicks' poetry empowers me, Linda Ronstadt's "Blue Bayou" taught me to sing, Cyndi Lauper created my calm inside the storm, Alice Bag reinforced the punk rock in my flower child soul, and A Fine Frenzy once re-inspired my will to live.
