Day 13: A song by an artist you have the hots for
One of my first and most enduring musical crushes has to be Shirley Manson. Definitely one of my all-time top 3 favorite Scottish redheads, right up there with Karen Gillan and Groundskeeper Willie.
"I Think I'm Paranoid" - Garbage
Groundskeeper Willie is RIPPED!
 
Day 13: A song by an artist you have the hots for

I guess I still have the hots for Evan Dando 30 years later because damnnnnnn 😍😍😍😍😍

Into Your Arms - The Lemonheads

Haha! I kissed Evan dando way back in the day. It wasn't exactly reciprocated but whatever 😂

Story is that I was a Huge Lemonheads fan back in the early 90s, and had a major crush on Evan Dando. I went to every local show and always made sure that I was GA and end up at the very front. I was also an art student at this time and I made a really cool piece of art that I had put up on stage during one show. Evan seemed to acknowledge it but I really didn't know what happened to it afterwards.

About a month or so later I went to see a show at the Middle East, which was a music venue and also a restaurant in the Boston area (Cambridge to be exact). After seeing the show I was walking out through the restaurant with my friend and we spotted Nic Dalton who was the bassist for the Lemonheads. I stopped by his booth and said hello. He was really nice and so I asked him if they ever got the artwork that I put up on stage at a previous show. His eyes opened wide and his response was "That was you!" Apparently the drawing was framed and hanging in Curtis Casella's house (I think that was his last name). Curtis was the owner/producer of TANG records, which was their indie label before they got a major label contract. I couldn't believe it. I was so excited. Nic then told me that Dave's (Lemonheads drummer) other band, Fuzzy, was playing at another club that weekend and he invited my friend and me to go. So we went. I was so hoping that Evan would be there. We were there for a couple of hours and no Evan. Then I spotted him at the bar with a couple of other people. My friend convinced me to go over and talk to him. I was so nervous but I did. I felt like a big freaking idiot. He was polite but not warm like Nic was. It's so embarrassing to admit but I gushed over him and told him how much I loved him and then gave him a kiss on the cheek. I am cracking up with embarrassment as I write this. But it's a fun story and it was definitely a fun time to be a young music lover in Boston.

BTW - this was the first, and pretty much only song I learned to play on the guitar.

One of the hardest (or easiest) prompts that I've ever seen... because there are so many contenders!
I'm so absurdly monogamous, in many different ways... but when it comes to artistic crushes, my heart's kind of a big ol' slut (lol).

So hard to choose! But a long, long time crush here...
You can keep all the cookie-cutter bimbos and drones. Give me queen Patti. Always!

"Fingers, fingers encircling thee...
When are you coming? Hope you come soon..."
