I Love You



Just felt like admiring you today, dearest Charlyn Marshall. On Friday it will have been 6 years since I saw you live for the first time at Battery Park in Manhattan. You stopped in the middle of your songs to talk to squirrel that ran by on the roof- overhang of Castle Clinton. You covered "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" by the White Stripes. You have been an inspiration to me every day since.

I love that my memory is the collective memory of the internet:
"I once saw Cat Power at Castle Clinton. She talked to a squirrel for 10 minutes"

This is how I play guitar. Because of you, Cat Power, because of you!
