Well, I just like her music. Don't know anything about her politics.

I first heard her on the national independent radio station. It was hot,
we were driving around a mountain, the beach was opposite, it was a
beautiful day, we were really happy and her voice just soared.Every time
I play her music, I go back to that time and memory.
Sometimes there are pure moments that transcend the everyday and they
stick in your heart forever.That was one of mine.
