Today's Subjects: ----------------- Mary Margaret O'Hara mentioned in the Guardian [Ellen Rawson Subject: Mary Margaret O'Hara mentioned in the Guardian Hi all, Today's Guardian has a feature on 'cult idols' -- who inspires the 'stars'. Mary Margaret O'Hara is mentioned here... http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/jul/03/cult-music-heroes-artists-unsung-idols There's a video to go with it on-line. "Tim Booth of James on Mary Margaret O'Hara She's really only done one album, Miss America. Then a friend of hers was directing a movie [2000's Apartment Hunting] and he coerced her into being in it and giving some tracks away for it. There are only five but they're as good as anything I've ever heard. She's apparently written hundreds of songs that have never seen the light of day because the recording of Miss America was so traumatic. She's incredible live, but so delicate. I've seen her run from the stage when someone shouted out: "I love you, Mary!" It's not that she's mysterious, just fragile. Morrissey said she was the greatest performer he'd seen since Patti Smith. She's got a track called Rain where she makes these strange dolphin noises. My wife has requested that it be played at her funeral." Ellen "Literature stops in 1100. After that, it's just books." - -- JRR Tolkien ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #1151 ****************************
