Kristin Hersh
One of the artists that I respect most for their integrity through the decades is Kristin Hersh. Kristin fronted Throwing Muses, solo work, and Fifty Foot Wave. I have met and spoke with her dozens of times. She was always gracious, kind and accommodating. I have seen her perform in all of her incantations. This interview is moving, honest, and revealing, typical of Kristin. She spoke about a different personality that took her over when she performs. She has no recollection of it. I witnessed this many many times in concert. She would move her head and neck side to side in a hypnotic fashion. It reminds me of a King Cobra. She pretty much confirmed the dissociation in the below interview. She was totally different offstage...quiet, shy, and softspoken. I remain fascinated by these performers and their channeling of energies. My favorite lyric is from Teet...
