Distraction

I just found out that Suzanne Vega is blogging for the New York Times.

Suzanne Vega - Measure for Measure

It was six years ago, almost to the day, I and my brother went to the Parkpop festival to hear Suzanne Vega sing. And sing she did. Great day, one I’ll never forget. To our surprise, it was announced that she would be signing CDs after the show. We queued up, and as we walked slowly towards the counter, we awkwardly tried to decide who would get to keep the one CD we could afford to buy. Suzanne Vega was pretty much going through the motions, distracted, I seem to remember. For us, though, it was a unique opportunity to meet Suzanne Vega - if only for the broken minute it takes to sell and sign a CD.

I still have the CD.
