A Love Song for Chan Marshall



I read a lot of biographies. There's something about getting into someone else's life for those minutes when you are immersed in the pages of a book that feels very liberating for me. I don't think my life is particularly boring, but I do think in relatives, and relatively, most of these people's lives are much less boring then mine.

I don't like to finish biographies though, because I feel too close to the subject. Whether they are dead or not, I wish their life was long enough to keep reading about on and on...

Chan Marshall is someone I'd like to meet someday.

More than just meet.

If I felt like that before I knew what she lived through, because she told me, it's cemented now, because someone else did too.

I don't like to finish Biographies.
