A Good Trade

Posted on | April 19, 2006 | 1 Comment

I read this story yesterday and was quite amused – and wondered who the Phoenix singer was who traded away a years free rent.
Today I got an email from one of my girlfriends (who I haven’t spoken to in ages, see the post below) inviting me to a “Red Paperclip Party” at Alice Cooperstown tonight – she’s the singer in the story!
BTW: She is an amazing singer, very bluesy/rocky. I could see her playing Janis Joplin in the bio-pic they are casting, certainly long before Britney Spears (who they mentioned) or Renee Zellweger (who is playing her in some movie already)
UPDATE: Just visited her website (it’s been a while) and found she has seriously changed her style. See what happens when you don’t stay in touch – you miss a lot of stuff.

    I read the “trading up” red paperclip story last week. Crazy idea but it seems to have worked!
