Great #RickBeato interview with #IndigoGirls Emily Saliers. Loved listening to Indigo Girls when I was a student at the University of Georgia in the early 90s.

Best thing about the Barbie movie?
They sang Closer I am to Fine. More than once.

I suspect Mastodonians are already among the fan base, but this #NewYorkTimes article is a lovely tribute to the #IndigoGirls

"the way I flee on my crooked feet, barn happy horse on a one-track course"

Amy Ray and Emily Saliers met in Decatur, and have become everyone's favourite queer folk duo. Both are lesbians, Amy is non-binary, and the music remains awesome.

From "Come On Now Social"; this video's a live performance in 2000.

I just asked Hubs something and he said:

🎶 the answers to these questions are pointing me in a crooked line🎶

Close honey.

I had no idea Closer to Fine was written in the 80s. I thought it was much older, like from the late 60s or 70s.

The word is "Needle"

Song: Pushing The Needle Too Far
Artist: Indigo Girls
Albums: Nomads Indians Saints
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QCNafBMoDI

Well, we've all been removed in one way or another
We don't know our families, we don't need our brothers
Pushing the needle too far
Pushing the needle too far

I didn't get into Indigo Girls right away--I might have heard "Closer To Fine", and I know I'd heard their cover of "Get Together", but not much more than that. One of my first online friends talked them up, and sent me a copy of "Strange Fire". On faith, I got a copy of "Nomads Indians Saints". I wasn't really won over until "Galileo" came out, though.

These ladies have been doing this for FORTY YEARS... well, this particular song for thirty-one... I got to see'em live for the first time tonight. I was the only one around me who went nuts when those drums went off...

I think I'll write a book. :)

Indigo Girls, "Galileo" live.

And if I don't post one tomorrow, it's because I'm busy watching these lovely souls... LIVE, for the first time! (My first house after I graduated was two blocks from where they got started, but I never saw'em in the early days... I'm very happy to see these two before I blow this side of the of the planet. (AND THEY HAVE A STRING SECTION!)

They've still got it! The Indigo Girls, NPR Tiny Desk from February. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw-DLcZBfq0

"I spend my time being broken hearted and grieving bound
Yeah I haven't much need to look forward
I just let a one day move into two
I'm losing
Everything except for you"

🎧 Watching the fascists vs everything #Queer War in the US and know the fascists will come soon for #LGBTQ+ visual artists and queer musical artists not in drag.

In 1998, schools in TN and SC (more than two) cancelled concerts by #IndigoGirls because #Lesbians. What will the digitally re-mastered version of that bigotry look like? Wait for it.
