Savages' Jehnny Beth writes online diary for Huffington Post
Savages frontwoman Jehnny Beth has penned a blog for Huffington Post titled “My Year in Savages,” in which she briefly reflects on her first year touring with the band and the process of re-settling in back home.
One particular highlight is Beth’s recent apartment-search, facing a week of denials from landlord’s who didn’t want to rent to artists:
“It’s not because we do what we like that we can’t pay our rent!” That was my reality after two years traveling the world, meeting the most amazing people—people I’ve admired for years. I wanted to tell these goddamn landlords who they were dealing with.
“Do you know PJ Harvey came to my house?! Do you know that Johnny Marr listens to my music when he goes for a run in the morning? And Yoko Ono came to my show in NYC?!” Seems like making useful music isn’t useful to me after all. “I am sorry,” they’d reply. “We will need to see some documents.”
