k.d. lang at Salt Lake City, Utah

Fans, Here are some pics of k.d.. Best to view full screen and the highest HD your device will allow.   k.d is very gracious about photos. She probably saw me clicking away for 2 hours and just let it be. Technically, these images were taken on private property. And technically, k.d. had a (legal) […]

Honey and Smoke (ing Hot) @kdlang

   k.d. lang is awesome at singing songs about love; especially love that is not quite fulfilled. Truly, it is one of her better talents. Not only the smooth and creamy vocals we have come to expect, but the sultry emotion that k.d. is able to make leap out of the mic and into our veins. […]

Wounded in All the Right Places @kdlang

First, a few preliminaries to this post. (1) I need to thank die hard kd fans for telling me about this song. (2) I think this CD is out of print and it is not even on iTunes anymore. So to find it, you kind of  have to go to eBay or Amazon and hope […]

Yes, k.d. lang really does photograph this well.

Here are pics I took from Royce Hall, June 20, 2015. Enjoy k.d. fans. These are amateur shots, so don’t be too hard on me. NO TOUCH UPS on k.d. in Photoshop. She really looks this good. For real! Lucky for us, the camera LOVES k,d,…OMG. What I wouldn’t give to look so good on camera!!

Images of Love and Compassion June 26, 2015 #Lovewins

The historic events of June 26, 2015 making same sex marriage legal in all 50 states is likely one the the ultimate acts of compassion, even given its legal outer coating. I had the chance to go to West Hollywood and document the joy and love experienced by many. Please share this with as many […]

Even You Are Enough

Let me start by stating that this post is DANGEROUS. It is so because I am taking three things k.d. said during the Soundstrue Pema Chodron and k.d. lang event  and drawing a conclusion that is probably not mine to infer. But, she did go out in public and make these three statements. So I […]

What’s Your Motivation @kdlang?

I always feel just a little bit sorry for k.d. when she is put on the “Buddhism” Hot Seat like she was at Royce Hall June 20, 2015. While it is true that she is a practicing Buddhist, talking about her own spiritual journey is not something she seems to really enjoy. Of course, I […]

No, She’s not OK @kdlang

There are a lot of elements in  the song  “You’re OK” that  make it alluring. For one, it describes a situation nearly all of us have experienced as either the infatuated or the object of infatuation. For another, it tends to make all of us feel better. After all, we are not alone in our obsessions […]

.@kdlang, Outside Myself, and the Death of Ego Part 3

This is the third installment in an ongoing project to show how k.d. lang’s album Ingenue can be interpreted as an investigation into the consequences of the small self (or Ego). By “consequences” of the ego I mean the devastating conflation between a disguised reality and Truth itself. Depending on the world view, this conflation results in […]

Two Minds of Love: @kdlang and Ellen Day Hale

Nothing like an intense self-portrait by a woman artist and song by k.d. lang to get one’s intellectual juices flowing. At least, this is what happens to me when I look at this portrait. I examine it and the whole experience is so intensely raw and gutting that I think immediately of its melodic “self-portrait” […]
