Why I want to meet Annie Lennox

A story about Annie Lennox
Annie’s soulfulness surpasses all racial barriers. Her music had a strong impact in my life as a young teen and still reaches the outer most parts of my being as an adult.
A story about Annie Lennox
I first fell in love with Annie Lennox when she was with the Eurythmics and I saw the video for “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”. I’ve admired her career ever since. I often thought it would be perfect to have her sing at my wedding. More realistic though is I’ve now planned my funeral to include the playing of her version of “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye.”
A story about Annie Lennox
From the nosebleed seats, a grown woman sat eagerly peering waaaaay down to the stage.
The silver lame looked tawdry, the space seemed so empty, despite the massive size of the Air Canada Centre.
Then she just filled the space. All of it. The voice I’ve adored since adolescence was transporting. Her energy was … breathtaking.
I’ve seen the Stones, AC/DC, Lou Reed, The Doors (with stand in), a Van Morrison, RatDogs, The Eagles, U2… not an exhaustive list, but respectable. Except for U2 (I think they were really tired), they were all powerful performances.
Yet!
I can’t decide if it was Annie the Air Canada Centre or Paul Simon Massey Hall (which began to resemble a phreaky Muppet Theatre night!)
Annie marked major moments of my romances & disappointments with soaring warbles & growls.
A question I have about Annie Lennox
How are your husband and child? How are you?
All conditions being propituous, would you like to sing for my daughter’s sixteenth birthday party?
