Ongecompliceerde vrolijkheid en veel ahaa’tjes en toedoedoe’tjes. Meer heeft Protection Patrol Pinkerton (PPP voor de stotteraars) niet nodig om een grauwe meidag op te fleuren.

If I had taken every road
Where I’ve been told to go
If I took everybody seriously
Who said they loved my show
I’d be going left
Going right
And standing still
At the same time
— Sarah Bettens - Driving Alone

I mean, ‘I Can’t Make You Love Me’ is no picnic. I love that song, so does the audience. So it’s almost a sacred moment when you share that, that depth of pain with your audience. Because they get really quiet, and I have to summon … some other place in order to honor that space.
— Bonnie Raitt, 2002 NPR interview

Your letters got sadder. Your lovers betrayed you. Kid, I wrote back, all lovers betray. It didn’t help. You said you had a crying bench and it was by a bridge and the bridge was over the river and you sat on the crying bench every night and wept for the lovers who had hurt and forgotten you.
— Charles Bukowski (via christclub)
