Me and Billie?
Apart from the fact that, unfortunately, I probably belong to a different sex than hers, I consider her—perhaps even more than the Goddess Joni—a being who goes beyond simple admiration.
In these strange fruits hanging from the trees, I see (besides the talent, to be clear!) a wretch like me: a whole life wasted on drugs, drinking as if there were no tomorrow, which, in fact, there isn't.
They're hanging us, and we're aware of it.
That's why we will bury them all: even at the cost of dying! Billie Holiday - "Strange Fruit" Live 1959 [Reelin' In The Years Archives] tutti:
