I was born under the astrological sign Virgo, the archetypal female.  Now we Virgos are supposed to be one of the most intelligent signs, however we are also the greatest believers in astrology, a dubious science.   This year I am supposed to start experiencing my Saturn Return, a mystical rite of passage that tests the foundations upon which you have built your life and career.  It is at this age that many young musicians experience their greatest success or failure, often resulting in fame or death or both, as in the cases of Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, etc.  I am hoping that mine will go well, as I have tried to be as true to myself as possible over the last 27 years or so.  Lately some wonderful things have been happening in my career, not the least of which being my introduction to Tony Visconti, in my opinion the greatest producer in Rock n Roll history.  You can see him playing the bass in the picture above.  I have also been playing with my favorite drummer in the world, Otto Hauser.  In fact my band is beginning to be populated with people who are like the Greatest Hits of people I’ve met in my life:  Paran the Iranian princess, Caley the most creative violinist I’ve ever known, Jesse the harp elf...

So I am hoping that things are going well for me and I am not spiraling towards ruin and corruption etc.  and I have decided to be super ambitious this year.  So in addition to becoming an enlightened being one with the universe and filled with compassion and love for all living things,  I would also like to have these material things:

1. 1. Brian Eno playing synth on my record, and my record becoming a huge underground hit, and breaking into the mainstream
   

2. 2.To become the greatest Female Guitar Hero of the twenty-teens
   

3. 3.Alexander Mcqueen begs me to design stage attire for me and my band, in exchange for me writing some really wacky music for his next short film/ad campaign.
   

4. 4.To publish a best-selling novel about my life as a cult child with a cult following, my travels on tour, and the magical people I’ve known and loved
   

5. 5.To make a buttload of money when a talented off-kilter director like John Cameron Mitchell decides to turn my book into a movie starring Miley Cyrus as a young me, and Angelina Jolie as an older me.
   

6. 6.To make enough money to retire from commerce completely and devote the rest of my life to producing awesome records by really sexy teenaged girl bands, and having enough free time to become a mommy.
