Randy's Guide 4-6-6

Music 
Making my way downtown
Walking fast, faces pass
And I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Through the crowd
 -- "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton (101 million views; June '09 upload)

It's tough when you have a huge debut top-five, Grammy-nominated single. Vanessa has dealt with anorexia, depression, bisexuality, record label disputes, censorship, and a failed pregnancy with internal bleeding. But this year, she's rebounded with her fifth album (now on an independent label) and her first daughter. Catch her at the intimate Independent on January 19, with Skye Steele opening.
