bobdylan-n-jonimitchell:“I’d go down all the time, when Buffy was in town, to watch her play. And one of the things that amazed me about her was, she used to wear flamenco shoes at that time. Like a…kind of a…with a little heel and she would stand on one foot with her leg cocked up behind in the classical movie kiss position, y’know, when a girl lifts up one leg. With her eyes closed—and she never banged her nose on the microphone. That amazed me, I’d think ‘My god’…I used to sing with my eyes closed and I always banged my nose against the microphone.
