I've known who she is since Constant Craving, however I hadn't paid a whole lot of attention to her, because the radio played that song so much I actually got sick of it. I had also never seen any really flattering pictures of her so I just thought she was sort of cute, nothing spectacular. Then in 1997, just before Drag, I was at a friend's house, she had on some music and I was blown away by the voice. I asked who it was and she said k.d. lang (turns out it was Ingenue, the song I really noticed was Season of Hollow Soul). So then was my first chance to see her live and OMG!!! I wasn't all that close so I still didn't know how incredibly cute/beautiful she is, but all I can remember is her singing Crying; I was wrecked! And yet, I still hadn't bought any of her music except Ingenue. I was always on the lookout for another concert but somehow missed the Invincible Summer tour (dammit!). So summer 2001 I was out at the Chronicle Pavillion for another concert and saw her listed with Tony. Well I wanted to see k.d. but I wasn't crazy about Tony, so I debated and actually almost didn't go. Sept. 20, I went to see Melissa Etheridge and was blown away by that concert also, and was thinking about seeing her again, instead of k.d. and Tony. As it turns out, I miraculously decided to go ahead and "suffer" through Tony just to see k.d. and thank god I did! Somehow, it finally, completely and utterly hit me and now I'm hopelessly in love, will never get enough!!! image
