I was terrible.

tough voice to follow as kAREN CARPENTER WAS ONE OF THE GREAT VOICES THE COUNTRY HAS EVER PRODUCED, someone shoulda smoked some good green with her and got her eating again. Tragic loss. Not my kind of music, but that voice was incredible

So true. That woman could phrase like no one's business. Those long sections of "Goodbye to Love" when you just can't figure out how she hasn't needed to take a breath yet are just incredible.

Eating disorders are a terrible mental illness because sufferers are so resistant to treatment. And I don't know that they're ever really cured; just controlled. In a high stress career like music, and because we didn't know much about anorexia nervosa then... just such a shame.
