I cannot express enough excitement and delight that you interviewed Kristin! She also was a pivotal figure for me when I was involved in music during my 20s. And her book is both hilarious and extraordinary. So happy the two of you connected, and thank you for sharing the interview!

I LOVE this and look forward to diving into Hersh's music in the days to come. Thank you for this refreshing conversation!

Thanks for this. I love her music and enjoyed her memoir ("Rat Girl!"), about coping with sudden fame, pregnancy and mental illness all at once. It's a powerful read.

Thank you for this conversation. Kristin Hersh was a key figure for me in my 20s particularly. The way the music and the lyrics fused into one incredible perspective! I'm buying her songwriting book. :-)
