If I Could I would, And I Will Try! February 11, 2007
Posted by amanda in : Uncategorized , trackback*FOR SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS IN NATURE CHECK OUT THE COMMENTS BETWEEN MYSELF AND JIM GROOM IN THE NEXT POST….
The Dixie Chicks Just won five grammys and i’m totally totally beyond words excited about this….i feel like I should try to relate this to Sylvia Plath in some way so that’ll be my goal haha.
I guess I always root for the underdog.
I am also a totally obsessive person and once i love something I love it pretty much forever without exception.I’ve loved their music since middle school (or I guess since they started out), they are my absolute favorite band of all time and these past few years they suffered from what i will now term “Ariel” syndrome. All of their talent and greatness was reduced to emotional female venting and villified. However, unlike Plath they were validated tonight. The best part is that they don’t even need validation because they have (their movie proved) so much self-assurance, so all of these awards are just a bonus!
Anyway this link is tenuous at best but whatever…it’s my blog and this is important to me so i’m gonna share it!
HOW’S THAT FOR POETIC JUSTICE?!?!

hahah THANKS MARK!!!
(i’m sorry about the comment problem, i’m not sure what’s going on with my blog but it makes me sad)
Great Song! when I do get it working i’ll link your blog to mine or just copy and paste this in.
I also like your idea of sylvia plath as a gateway drug to poetry…that’s the dream. I mean obviously the dream is that she’s so great and people finally realize it but to take it further and give her the ability to inspire people become obsessive poetry addicts like myself is pretty excellent.
i want to write something more inspired later….i don’t know if i can make you look smarter (because i’m not that brilliant myself) but no worries i’m not going to rip you apart because i’m totally flattered you thought of me
