I Have Crushes On Celebritys

I always wanted to be Karen Carpenter. Her music touched my soul like no other. Like many people in the 70s I had no idea she had anorexia. Her music still haunts me to this day and now her life and her illness haunt me as well. I often ask "Why?" but never get an answer. I know it was her brother who wrote the lyrics, but her voice gave them a resonance that will make them last forever. RIP Karen. I love you.

I LOVED Karen Carpenter. I feel the same about her music as you. And I miss her. Actually, I understand she didn't think she could sing. But her brother finally talked her into it. Maybe her self-esteem issues went hand-in-hand with her anorexia. It would seem likely. Anyway, Karen, rest in peace.
