Loved the Everly Brothers story, and I found the remarks about drug use (specifically in the writing of Songbird) refreshingly honest.

I'm sure I'm not alone, but when I listen to her talk these days, I can't help but wish someone had been able to talk her out of walking away in 1998. I understand she needed time away, but it's clear from her description of that time period that, at some point, her isolation was doing more harm than good.

Wow, I'm behind.. I've only listened to it once. I agree with everything.

I think she needed only a 10 year break. She could have come back around the 2009 tour. That would have been the ultimate. But, yea... being alone, booze, pills... She got herself in some trouble.
