emily saliers quote from 2006-07-31: folk's indigo girls keep rocking on label debut, red orbit

"like on 'all the way,' the idea came to me while i was driving back home (to atlanta) from nashville. i saw a wreck on the side of the road, with a plume of black smoke rising from it. it gave me this impending sense of doom. so i took that image and applied it to my human relationships - about how we all explode into each other as we're just trying to reach out. it got me thinking about the (christian) church, sexism, all these things that sometimes make us explode."
