Kraftster <3s Brandi Carlile

[MdPensFan]

Just found out this morning that Brandi Carlile has added another Pittsburgh date as part of her Give Up the Ghost tour (due to European tour postponement). This show will be at Heinz Hall with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. I am beyond pumped for this. Tickets went on sale this morning. I'll be dead center third row. This will be an amazing show and should be attended by all. Woooo

Not anymore..

She's pregnant.

Great. Another child with two moms.

[Malkamaniac]

[Kraftster]

No emote can describe my level of devastation.

[newarenanow]

Great. Another child with two moms.

Most likely.

[Azkar]

I'm the father.

[Kraftster]

I strongly oppose Brandi's one and only LGP thread being defiled like this.

[Kraftster]

So, its turned into a day of mourning for me. Nothing else to do but turn to my trusty Brandi Carlile YouTube playlist. Another great cover:

Personal life

In an April 2008 interview with The Independent, Carlile revealed that, as a teenager, she was diagnosed with attention-deficit disorder and struggled in high school. She eventually dropped out to focus on a music career. She said,

"They wanted to medicate me so I could concentrate in math class...I decided to pretty much stop going. I went out busking instead." [20]

Carlile is the owner of a Doberman Pinscher named "Bailey"[21] and a horse named "Sovereign", who she named after her first guitar.[22]

During a November 14, 2002 interview with The Western Front, the official newspaper of Western Washington University, Carlile identified herself as a lesbian, and stated that she didn't think it would affect her record deal. She was quoted as saying, "I think that since it's not a big deal for me, that people subscribe to that."[23] In a October 17, 2009 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Carlile was quoted as saying,

"I hope that somewhere in Small Town, USA, a 15-year-old kid looks to me as a role model the way I looked at the Indigo Girls and Elton John as role models...and I hope they also recognize that the reason why I don't have to have a lot of formality around it, the reason why I don't have to wear it on my sleeve and make a spectacle of it, is because there were people before me who paved the way so I wouldn't have to."[24]

I'll pass. Sounds like an Ani Difranco re-run..

That's actually a real smart move. Gays are inherently less talented than heterosexual musicians.

My girl on Austin City Limits. For those of you who watch the show, definitely watch for this one. Rosanne Cash played the first half of the show.

Had been waiting to see it, but I couldn't seem to find when it would be airing in Pittsburgh so just watched online. Great Folsom Prison Blues cover to close it out.

[Kraftster]

Also fixed the thread title.

[tjand72]

I'd rather have Belinda Carlisle.

[Point Breeze Penguins]

I'd rather have Belinda Carlisle.

[slappybrown]

[jimjom]

Is she from Carlisle, PA?

[André]

Cudos to her for liking the Indigo Girls. Will check out the videos on my lunch break.

[Kraftster]

My girl coming to town for free Arts Fest show on Friday, June 10. Be there or be square.

She's pregnant.

Way to go Kraftster!! Will you be living together?

[Kraftster]

Hah, perhaps polyamorously.

Just like Larry King.

[Sarcastic]

No emote can describe my level of devastation.

lol, poor guy. Not only is she a lesbian but is also pregnant. Wait, how is she pregnant if she's a lesbian? I'm confused now.

[Kraftster]

lol
no pregnancy at all - I'm not sure where that came from.
I was devastated because of the cancelled PSO show.

Kraftster dressed up like a girl to get with her and then it was too late
