Thank you for this. My father brought you both to me, and Rickie Lee has been an idol since I was a small girl. I got to see her in my home town of Flagstaff, AZ and I think she didn’t enjoy being there. It saddened me for quite a long time, and so this conversation was helpful in understanding. We put a lot on our idols, but that’s a bit odd. My appreciation of my father’s love for Neko grew more and more after he died and I wish he was here to share this with

What a pleasure to eavesdrop on a conversation with two artists I admire so much. And holy heck, Neko, did you get more ink?

Sister, that was AMAZING! Rickie is a legend…PIRATES is a profound and inspirational work that my friends and I have enjoyed so deeply. #cuntfingeredlouiepicksupeddieinthealley I bless you both for all you bring. Can’t wait to hear your new album and read both yours and Rickie’s books! Ps. I got to work with dear Syd Straw (accompanied by Dag Juhlin) on our Kate Bush tribute album I Wanna Be Kate; she is very kind and I adore her. Thank you again for this wonderful interview. All my big tornado love.

PS

The Horses is like the alternate Australian national anthem thanks to it being covered by a local music legend.

All I could have hoped for— two life poets showing a way forward.

I didn't end up combing my hair, but I got up early in Australia. Two authentic and real humans connecting was a genuine joy for me. Thank you both and yes we do love you and will drive more than cross town to see you, luckily Ricki Lee was in Adelaide recently and she was awesome.

Va bene

I loved this. It gives me the same feeling I get watching Martin Scorsese talk about films he loves. Neko, your enthusiasm is infectious!
