Loved her debut and think her newer stuff is good from what I have heard, but no rabid fan here. However, loads of respect for her cancelling her tour to be there as her Janet departs.
“I know that she’s not sad about aging or dying. Animals have a survival instinct, but a sense of mortality and vanity, they do not. That’s why they are so much more present than people.
But I know that she is coming close to point where she will stop being a dog, and instead, be part of everything. She’ll be in the wind, and in the soil, and the snow, and in me, wherever I go.”
