Hi sak4,

Yes that is a really nice article.  It's not often that a writer openly shares their emotional response to an artists' music that way.  It reminds me of some of my reactions to hearing certain songs for the first time.  Thanks for sharing the link!

Great article. Funny to read he was crying on the floor because he wanted to be a successful musician like Mark.

I'm too late for this article, just've read it now. But wow, I think it's the most touching piece of work I've ever read about MK's music. I'm on a sentimental mood lately, so this fit me perfectly. For me, she managed to translate senses that many of us might have experienced when listening to any MK song.

And last but not least, the author was able to mix her personal views and ideals through life with some kind of lessons she may have learned while following MK career.
