Kate McGarrigle has died

Canadian folk singer Kate McGarrigle died yesterday of liver cancer, at age 63.

Love is a shiny car
Love is a steel guitar
Love is a battle scar
Love is a morning star

Love is a twelve-bar blues
Love is your blue-suede shoes
Love is a heart abused
Love is a mind confused

Love is the pleasures untold
And for some, love is still a band of gold
My love has no reason, has no rhyme
My love crossed the double line

Love is a minor chord
Love is a mental ward
Love is a drawn sword
Love is its own reward

Love is the pleasures untold
And for some, love is still a band of gold
My love has no reason, has no rhyme
My love crossed the double line

— “Love Is”, by Anna, Jane, and Kate McGarrigle

Sad news indeed. I really loved their harmonies.
