I've been reading about Kristin all morning. I am so impressed with who she is, it's like she's evolved 1000 years past past humans but had to come back here to help, I bet she feels similar to No Name in the movie idiocracy. Just when I think 100% of people would happily trade their souls in exchange for strangers' applause, I find her. I wish I'd been more familiar with her as a person when I was a teenager enjoying her music, talking myself up each morning before school that I was not going to let the bullies see me cry and failing at that day after day for years, my mother was a real diagnosed narcissist who never went back to therapy once diagnosed and lived to torture me, step dad made comments about my "tight" body when i was 14 and she wasn't horrified with him, she got angry at me and made it her goal to remind me I was worthless constantly. I ran away, tried to find a man to love me but only found those who wanted to use me, became a prostitute addicted to xanax, came out of all of that absolute shit of hating every fiber of my own being to discover that I'm actually really beautiful because I would never ever hurt another person who meant me no harm and through every cruel experience I managed to keep my heart intact! They didn't win, none of them did, I did. Now that I'm pushing 40 and my looks have faded, I make it a point to, when I meet a young woman, to say "you're so beautiful, and I'll bet you're really smart too".

This is the song I couldn't do without. I love it so much.

You are wanted, you are wanted. Magnificent. This record is on my standard list of things to play for people, not only to shock themselves out of their complacent world, but also to show off the sonics of the Pink Reference System. This is a terrifically recorded work, and it remains in perpetual rotation.

She's so friggn cool. That head shimmy thing she does. 🥰 Years ago, when KZbin had a friends list and an inbox, I sent her a message and she answered me! I had asked her how she felt about people listening on Spotify rather than physical albums and whether artists made any money from streaming services. (Spotify hadn't yet become the norm.) She was very gracious, said she was happy to have people hear her music anyway it could reach them, but that, sadly, the artists made very little. I think she said it was like a tenth of a penny per listen or something ridiculous. Anyway, it was just so cool that she actually wrote me back. Alas, when, for some reason, they got rid of any sort of social network/friends element to KZbin, I lost it to the void. 😢

I saw her live on this tour. I wont ever forget and I will wear her tee with pride

¨Pinned by a dream state You are fearless And your empty arms Waiting for no one You wanted to be wanted When you're head over heels In shock And the little green apples falling around you Party to this party You are blameless Ask a question You get an earful You are wanted you are wanted When you're head over heels In shock And the little green apples falling around you When you're head over heels In shock And the little green apples falling around you In the darkest room Where the music's loud The mouth you're seeking finds your mouth We are wanted we are wanted When you're head over heels In shock And the little green apples falling around you When you're head over heels In shock And the little green apples falling around you¨ - Kristen Hersh

[@_MrPink_]

She's amazing, isn't she?

[@WHJeffB]

@@_MrPink_ She's fantastic in interviews... So is her step sister Tanya Donelly. The Muses and Belly are my two favorite female fronted bands from the '90's

[@_MrPink_]

@@WHJeffB I know Kris, so yes. She is!

[@gilesdunn5728]

She's a badass

[@francisbroka9471]

[@jetthaus1099]

Such intense energy!

[@reszzz]

LOVE YOU KRISTIN!!

[@endi-acoustic]

Great song and well done video ♥️

[@WHJeffB]

She and Tanya still look and sound good for their age (I know this video is several years old, I'm going off recent videos of them)... Would love to see them together at a show doing the old Throwing Muses songs.

[@alancornelius1ghf]

Very good.

[@wolfe23]

Amanita muscaria.., Soma... oh yea.

[@Hackless5]

This reminds me of sign of Marion.

[@enigmag9538]

I bet you look much better than you think.

[@carloshampton2165]

Hey the song I made sounds just like that:/
