five thousand shades of blue
Friday, May 04, 2001
Was listening to NPR last night as we were cleaning up and "All Things Considered" was on. I've never really listened before, but apparently yesterday's was a special show, a thirtieth anniversary show where they interviewed thirty-year-olds about growing up in the 70s and 80s. It was a real blast to listen to (in fact, I'd love to get a copy of this show on tape).
The part that really weirded me out was the interview with
Ani DiFranco. For those of you who don't know, Ani is from Buffalo. I grew up in Western New York and went to school in Buffalo; I remember seeing the flyers for her playing the Buffalo club scene (I was too young to get into the bars, but I kinda wish I'd gone anyway!). I found out from an
Entertainment Weekly interview that she attended art school at the same school at the same time I did -- and realized I had probably ridden in the elevator with her, since I doubt many other people had pierced eyebrows in 1988. Anyhow, the NPR interview divulged her birthdate, and I was spooked out to realize I'm precisely 10 days older than she is.
In other news,
the girls protesting at Hollins are idiots. And, like a loser on Survivor,
the U.S. is voted off the island.
is
this just not enough…?
