So I just introduced 16 to The Wilburys, and they said, "I feel like I'm leaving reality."

I apologize for having forgotten to before now.

And yes, that was a compliment.

Me- I was in the back room of the tuxedo rental place I worked in hemming pants when the radio announced that Roy Orbison was dead.

16- "That voice."

"Yeah."

I just introduced 16 to Orbison's duet with k.d. lang on Crying and 16 yelled, HOLY SHIT have you been keeping her from me? And I said, No, I play her very often when I need to relax. You don't pay attention.

Let's all take a moment to remember how pissed off people got over this.

Also I need a moment to recover from Cindy's thighs, because damn.
Damn.

@Shelter One of my favorite pics. Can't understand why so many people got mad.

@harleyquinnical

Because it's hot, but not straight hot
Enter pearl clutching.

@Shelter I was so happy. I recall the backlash too. I think there was a lot of mad people when she said she was vegan too. (If I’m remembering correctly) 🤔

@RetroYeti

Yes. Because she was from Cattle Country Alberta.
People there got PISSED.

@Shelter That’s right. It was a thing in the PNW too. It’s farming community here. Just another reason to be pissed for some folks. I just kept happily buying her music and her posters. I know she probably got tired of the celebrity status. I’m so glad she represented for us though. And she got to do that beautiful layout of portraits with Crawford. *swoon

@Shelter
Reporter: What were you thinking about at that moment?
K.D. Lang: ...

@Shelter - Oh my gosh! I thought it was great! (i can't remember if it was in the Stone or VF?!? 🤷‍♂️ i had a sub to both back then, Interview too, but I'm positive it wasn't in that)

@KreepyKimSofia

Chills.
Her voice gives me the good goosebumps.
