I'm in TheConnextion.com's November Spotlight! - December 8, 2008

Julie Christensen

1. What inspires you?

Emotional Triggers will cause me to process things by writing
something down. Walking in the beautiful nature I'm lucky to be
surrounded by inspires me. And listening to some of my favorite
things challenges me to get up off it and create on my own.

2. What would be the three main rules if you ran your own country?

Respect. Dignity. Compassion.

3. If you could swap places with anyone for one day, whom would you
choose and why?

Today that might be my 60-year-old yoga teacher, Ingrid, who is a
great beauty, an artist, and and activist. Of course, I'd have to be
able to do all the asanas she can, and I'm not there yet! On another
day, it might be someone else.

4. Tell us one thing that your fans would be surprised to know about
you.

I took Chinese and Asian studies my first year of college and made
the Dean's List.

5. If you could name a planet, what would you name it and why?

Aiode, one of the three original muses--she is the muse of song. And
only Venus is a female name. How come they stopped naming them female
after that? Earth should also be Gaia; it's so much prettier and
stronger a name for this beautiful planet. Maybe we'd take care of
her better if she had that name.

6. What is your favorite book?

Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner

It's like traveling in a dream of Old California...I'd missed it when
it was first around. Timeless.

7. If money was no object, what hobby would you like to try?

Horseback Riding--I did it when I was really young and only a few
times since. Generally I haven't warmed to the culture around it, but
I'd like to explore it, because it's a great feeling to bond with
those beautiful animals.

8. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and
why?

I've never been to Japan, and would like to see Japan outside the
cities. But I've been to Venice five times, and would go back there
again in a heartbeat.

9. If you could be at any one event, which one would you choose and why?

I'd love to be at the inauguration of Barack Obama's presidency.

10. What is the theme song for the movie that is being made about
your life?

Oh, that's a hard one! The movie inside my mind is trippy and
convoluted.
As for a song everybody knows, it might be "Over the Rainbow" because
I run on hope.
And I wrote a song years ago with a couple other people called "Song that Might've Been" about staying in right now and not letting
chances go by...

Sang with Lou Reed on Wednesday... - November 3, 2006

As part of his California swing, Lou graciously invited me to reprise our Joan of Arc duet from the Came So Far for Beauty Evening we'd done in Dublin. It was a different animal this time, sinewy and powerful, but delicate in her way. He started off with a very velvet introduction on guitar accompanied by the ample bass of Rob Wasserman and Fernando Saunders. That guitar then opened up wider and wider to accompany the fire. It was something I will always treasure.
