Sheryl Crow

Yeah, I moved actually kind of I moved from Austin to Nashville.

I got I was engaged, got diagnosed with breast cancer, split up.

Anyway.

No, go on.

I have time.

No, I'm kidding.

That is so nice.

I will tell you that tour was not like anything I've experienced.

And the whole thing came about at such a strange, you know, Lollapalooza was happening.

And every time, like I can remember calling my agent and saying, can I get some women on a bill?

Like I'd love to tour with Amy Mann.

And every time it would be like, yeah, people won't buy tickets to see two women on a bill, particularly men, men won't.

And around that time, Sarah had this crazy idea.

And she wound up calling me and I was just, God, it's just a perfect time for it.

All that to say is that what we took out on the stage was, it was defiance, but it was also like community.

It was a little bit of a gentle fuck you to the norms.

The fact that

Yeah, there were quite a few, um, you know, there were quite a few gay women in the audience, but there were as many families and as many heterosexual couples and as many men.

I mean, it was totally everything.

So it defied what all the agents and the promoters were saying, like, you're just going to wind up with an audience full of women and they're, and they're not going to, they're not the ones that buy tickets.
