Her version of Gloria is still my all-time favorite.

I understand that new turntables are being made, but I think now that perhaps someone could have fixed my old one. Most of my LPs were in ood shape!<br /><br />I think she's inspired us in so many ways.<br /><br />Brooks--Thank you. From a writer and blogger like you, that's a real compliment!<br /><br />I've read "Just Kids". It is indeed a great story, written as only she could tell it. She is to words and music what Mapplethorpe was to images. And their love for each other, as turbulent as it could be, transcended gender expression and sexual orientation.

I'm sure you must have read Smith's memoir, "Just Kids" about her long relationship with the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. If you haven't, you must. It's a wonderful story, and beautifully written.Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110998345857993287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-31111745506180193872016-01-31T06:29:32.554-08:002016-01-31T06:29:32.554-08:00Are you surprised when I say that I still play tho...Are you surprised when I say that I still play those original LPs with great delight, the CD transfers have an undefinably horrible quality and sometimes pointless bonus tracks!<br /><br />She gave me courage to live that androgynous look for over three decades before I found the way to finally move on. I sometimes feel bad about shearing off that long hair which I had from before leaving school at the end of the sixties. If I had put aside the money I had saved not going to hairdressers over those decades I could get me a bike like that! Not often you see a "priests framed" bike. Chocolate easter eggs been in shops for a month, soon be Easter...Colinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667939789517989280noreply@blogger.com
