Is there a collection of her music writing you could recommend? I'd love to read it. It's harder to write about than one would think. Especially in a halfway decent way. Maybe there's a definitive anthology of her music-related stuff?
Thanks,

influence me, too, but her influence on me as a music
writer was immense.) I think Liza is right that Jesse
would have pissed Willis off, too. It's a pity we
can't bring her back and ask her.
