this of course inspired by hatch show print, and in particular this poster:
(hatch is a huge inspiration to me aesthetically, and in making this i realize that i owe hatch itself a card but probably will forgo that because i've already used it here.) every time i try and create imagery like this, i'm faced with the spacial challenges that hatch overcomes so beautifully.
anyway, patsy cline is awesome. i heard a segment on npr about her a few weeks ago (her birthday was september 8) and i found it so great that she pursued her talents in spite of having a husband who didn't support her quest for stardom, wanting her to conform to a life of a simple housewife. the song she was arguably most famous for, crazy, was written by willie nelson. initially, cline attempted to sing the song like he did - but the song became the success that it is today because cline decided instead to sing it in her own idiosyncratic manner.
also awesome is loretta lynn, who sings in the same style but much more about women's rights, liberation and sexuality.
in spite of the fact that both of these women were most popular in nashville's heyday, i can't help but give austin (read: austin public radio) a bit of credit on making music like this much more present in my consciousness. thanks, kut!
