  • Brandi Carlile It's really important to me to promote worthy causes. But not in a heavy, obligatory, responsibility way.

And they are the consummate activist group, always reaching out, especially to Native causes and things like that.

Whenever she feels all sad, she switches into this wholly happy gait, sliding, hopping, and sliding again; when doing this, it seems as though her head separates from her body, making her feel dizzy and emptied out of bad thoughts. Does anyone else know this trick, she wonders? Probably not, although her Mother sometimes smiles and waves from the window.
