In mah olden age, I’m bashfully realizing that the real reason I love that so much is because it’s how I write with the book babies to build the grievechronic universe. Each book is an instrument in the hands of a demented cherub… & you hear them all creeping to that point when they’re gonna freefall together. It’s supersonic counterpoint. I never stood a chance against this song.

Angel, on when I grow Up by the pussycat dolls.

How weird is this? Joan Baez's voice? I have skirted it , turned away from it for years. I just heard the voice she found in her 80s. That? Cracks me open. Stunning. raw, deep, wonderful. Just heard it for the first time. It's the anti Soprano vibrate, whatever the origin sound was. It's wild.

The Angel, bemused. Sonically.
