hi, all...
so i'm flipping through the new issue of Details rather quickly. that's all it's worth anymore, methinks. really gone downhill lately. musta had something to do with those negative remarks about the holy single. anyway, i come across an interview with some actress i've never heard of named joanna going. i'm about to turn the page, when i notice the phrase "Growing up in Newport, Rhode Island..."
i decide to skim the article. i come across another reference...
Did you mix with the Newport music crowd back in 'those' days?
i read the response...
Yeah--I watched Tanya Donelly and Kristin Hersh grow up and I'm a huge fan of both of them. And actually my brother is the father of Kristin's oldest son, Dylan.
hmmm, i think. so now i know what i need to know to know who she is, anyway.
i read further down in the article...
Q: From Keith Partridge to Johnny Rotten. Are you still rocking?
A: Yeah, I use music a lot when I'm working--I try to find stuff that hooks me into the character, and actually I use the (sic) Throwing Muses a lot for that.
i'm starting to like this woman. i continue reading...
Q: And which of their sunny tunes has been the most useful?
A: I relate to "Hate My Way" a lot.
good choice...
Q: Which lyric?
A: "So I sit up late in the morning/And ask myself again/How do they kill children/And why do I want to die?"
very good--she knows her stuff, and she's not just dropping hep music references!
so...i still don't know who joanna going is--really, anyway--but if she's this clued in, i might just have to stuff a pacifier in the baby's mouth and catch one of her new flicks...
back to the books,
scott
