I walked in from my “Wild Women” group and my husband hopped on the edge of the bed and said you have to see this. First, YouTube of the Pixies doing Gigantic and then 8 miles wide. What powerful stuff. I sent it to my 21 year old. She said mom I can’t say that yet. I told her to “get used to it”.
40…you’re just a babe. I just turned the big 60. My birthday treat? Seeing the one, the only, Storm Large in NYC at Joe’s Pub. I am looking forward to it. Give me a shout out and then we can light a candle together. If you ever want to play Martha’s Vineyard…we will be waiting for you.

Just “discovered” you this morning thanks to The Bloggess. You are a powerhouse lady. Your video “My Vagina is 8 Miles Wide” made me look back at your stint on Rockstar and from there I bought your album. Hope you had a wonderful birthday and continue to celebrate life.

Your performance, your attitude, your everything you put into your music is unique, beautiful, and inspiring! I have become such a Storm Large Fan! I am soooo hoping you will consider putting your performance of Crazy Enough on DVD. Won’t be as mesmerizing as sitting there in your presence watching and listening to you… but I know that out of the 5 of us there to watch you… everyone of us would have purchased one that night… had you had one. We all still would I’m sure. I tell all my friends about Storm Large and how she’s one of the most amazing performing women… and I play my Storm Large songs the most on my ipod/iphone. It is the best group of songs I listen to when I need to let loose after a tough and angerfilled day, or when I go and work out. I am looking forward to more performances in the Portland area. My hubby comes back in May from Iraq… and I plan to get him to one of your performances! ROCK ON and ROCK HARD!

Stormy .
Do not even think there is some flaw in your body ,(ass squish).
Damn I just had to go smoke a cig to get over the thought of you being even a tiny bit insecure.

Storm I just learned about you from my girl friend in Toronto with the awesomse 8 miles wide……I loved it and cannot get the tune out of my head.
After 15 years in the convent, I finally left in my early 30′s and got Free to be ME. I always knew I was a lesbian, but my dad caught me and my girl friend kissing when we were 18, and well that put an end to that. Back in those days…….we did not have the courage of ingenuity to run away together. Neither of us ever married…well I did marry Jesus LOL LOL but our divorce was amicable. Me and the girl next door shared 3 years of bliss….making love whenever our parents were away from either one’s home. And I was known to get up at 1 am and slip out the back door and climb over the fence and into her window til early dawn and then back out and into my own bed. My folks threatened to send me to a Shrink, and I said, “well I will just kill myself”…they believed me. So I just went on to college…..and then finally escaped to the Convent with other friends who were already there….to escape a male friend who wanted to marry me….he only kissed me once and I said, “ewwwwwwwwww do not ever do that again” and he did not…..but we dated for two years…then when the Marriage word came up…I had to get out of dodge LOL LOL Anyway, you are a breathe of fresh air…and I want to tell you that turning 40 is a great age…and you have 40 more years to share your 8 mile wide Vagina LOL LOL You go woman. I sure shared mine after an 8 year relationship with the woman I was with after the convent……but in 1996 I shared my Vagina with great loving women…….wanted to find out if women could be like the gay men. Now at 62 I am ready to settle down. I used to have all the women bring their STD tests and I had mine. LOL LOL Soooooooooo you just have to put on the CRAZY ENOUGH once again so I can see it. I will bring a pack of woman friends from Salem to Portland to see it, and more from Corvallis too.
Thank you Storm, for being YOU…..and sharing yourself and your great voice and talent with us all. Everyone across the USA and Canada need to see CRAZY ENOUGH.

Thank you for being real. I hear you about body DYSMORPHIA. I, maybe like you, am a relatively strong female personality that’s mindful and have a decent self esteem but yet…I struggle with something as insignifcant (yet very real and insistent) as body issues. WTF!
Saw Crazy Enough last night. I had a crush on you when you tended bar at Dante’s and saw a few of your shows, including a NYE show there. And after last night…I’m just so thankful and impressed. So much I want to talk about with you and about you…but I’ll jump in. I loved how your intro about your family was very honest and helped the audience to empathize with a non-perfect family. Felt like that helped folks to be open to your struggles with heroin. I think that you may have helped one or maybe 200 people walk away and sympathize with others who have or had drug addictions, and not be quick to judge. Not everyone grew up with a safe and happy family. And it’s so important (to me) to realize this. Homeless kids may not have grown up in the west hills with a “normal” mom and dad. Maybe their dad raped them from a young age. Or, their mom was an absent alcoholic or a clinically depressed person who wasn’t able to give her children support and love as they should have received it. If so, it would be tough to live a relatively happy, consistent and successful life.
I want everyone in Portland to see Crazy Enough. I think it could make them more insightful people.
Thank you Storm,
D

I keep hearing and reading about your show and I wish so badly I lived in the area so I could see it! I’m a recent fan, and I have completely and utterly fallen in love with you as a performer and a woman. You ROCK!

Happy Birthday! I hope tomorrow is awesome!

Is there a chance that you might have some of your performances filmed and made into a DVD? I WOULD SO BUY IT!

In fact ANYTHING you did and made into a dvd would be worth having! (I mean performances, not hot monkey sex with your man, that’s your deal!)

I’m a dancer in P Town, and Ladylike has been a staple in my life for a while now! It is very empowering and downright soulful! I am praying I get to see your show. My friend tried to get me tickets but they were always sold out! Your video for Eight Miles Wide made me re-appreciate Portland and I’ve been showing it to everyone I know. Okay I’ll stop gushing now. Peace.

Happy birthday also! I hope you are having the time of your life.

Storm,

I found you via a friend who linked my to your video for 8 Miles Wide. Thank you for putting the video out on YouTube, I otherwise might never have heard of you, and you’re amazing. I laughed and cried at the same time. Having just turned 40 myself, fighting body dysmorphia, and having a host of young women around me who also battle body dysmorphia… it gets interesting. We laughed, we shrieked, our jaws dropped… it was very healing and helpful.

Happy 40th birthday. Yoiu’re the kind of beautiful I want my daughter to be – strong in the face of fear, with lots of attitude!

Also, we just simply love your music in it’s own right, regardless of “message” – and we’re music snobs, so that means something.
