I'm on a Facebook group dedicated to Kate and Anna and also another group for a doc made about them called "Sing Me The Songs That Say I Love You ~ A Concert for Kate McGarrigle." On the "Sing me..." group, Rufus Wainwright says the following: bI know my mother wanted fame. She was jealous of Bonnie Raitt and Joni Mitchell. Part of her was aching for that kind of acceptance b and letbs face it, that kind of money. She struggled with that. But she wasnbt able to handle fame emotionally, to navigate it. She didnbt have the steely will to keep all the ducks in order. So she had to just focus on her songwriting. But the end product is incredible: She was able to experience and translate the full gamut of emotions women go through without any filter, without any ulterior motive, without trying to get anybodybs pants off. Her catalogue was the best gift she could have given her children.b - - Rufus Wainwright on his late mother, singer-songwriter Kate McGarrigle ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2013 #255 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
