wow, i'm glad this thread was refreshed.

emmylou is one of my real heroes, one of those artists who just keeps on growing and changing. i saw her last fall on the RED DIRT GIRL tour and cried numerous times. bring kleenex to the zoo, Amergin . . .

emmylou has class, which is a lost art. she is not constricted in one genre -- traddie, singer/songwriter, or interpreter. she has immense sexual appeal but doesn't use it as smoke and mirrors. she's one of the very few Famous People these days with that kind of cred.

i admit, i want to be her when i grow up.

the zaftig version of emmy, at least.

which will conveniently fulfill that aspect of the Mudcat longing.

sigh.
