Jul 8, 2015 These feels are real. Probably my favorite singer/songwiter besides Bob Dylan. I was looking up some of her live stuff on Google and saw the headlines. She's 71 so its not really surprising but it still hurts to know shell be gone soon. She lived a happy and fulfilling life from what I can tell so at least there's that. If you want to get into her check out her album Blue, its probably her most acclaimed and most accessible work before she started fusing a lot of genres together. Pour a 40 out for her recovery. The artist dies, but their work is immutable.
