"It was like somebody turned on the black light & we were surrounded by filth of our own ideology"

Brandi Carlile

“[After the election] it was like somebody turned on the black light and we were surrounded by the filth of our own ideology and our own complacency,” Carlile says. “That’s when I realised I was part of the problem. To not squander the opportunity I’ve been given is an evolution. If somebody believes I’m wrong, I want them to say it so we can engage. Big inclusive sentiments are a salve. They’re not appropriate.”

3. Here's my favorite Brandi Carlile song

For those who haven’t been lucky to enough to hear that kickass voice. When she belts it out, I’m reminded of k.d. lang (coincidentally, both are lesbians whose first musical influence was Patsy Cline).
