It was heart-wrenching and soul-cleansing. Thank you.

I wasn't at this show but I will be there in Paris soon. Meanwhile I wrote a silly thing for you on the melody of Judy Blume... ahem People keep asking me why i do things like i do in all of this measuring influence i'm thinking of you you and me like sisters separated by an ocean you keep telling me the things i need to hear and your book inspired me to be as real as i can there are some days i feel like just giving up but you are with me all the time helping me figure life out whispering in my ears that i can do all the things you are the voice i listen to when everything else falls apart you've been inside me since years, Amanda I am so shy and awkard but i know i can sing It's sometimes so hard but i know you'd be proud if you'd knew Despite the bad stuff i still walk on stages everywhere And i still give as much of laughters and love that i can I don't remember much of these past 10 years all i remember is working and being afraid but when i hear you singing Half Jack or The Perfect Fit Suddenly i know that i am not alone I remember when the Bataclan has been attacked All of these people killed and i couldn't stop crying I had to play on a stage in Paris after that I was sure i couldn't But then i remembered your song "sing" and i sang it And that day i knew i could do anything i want All i had to do was just to try And to stop pretending that i wasn't good enough I am really not the person that i want to be I never know what my life is going to be Sometimes i feel like there's no point here after all But then i remember i'm bigger on the inside so I'm listening to you and i find back my breathe again And i try to think that i am not the one to blame Cause this world is such a frightening place But you're there, you're fighting So i guess i can just do the same People will keep asking why i do things like i do And everytime now i will talk about you and your fans Amanda, i can't believe sometimes that i have lived that long i've been through hell but i'm still there for writing those stupid words You inspire me to not give up and to keep trying You'll be inside me forever, Amanda Okay, i know that probably sucks big time but i thought about this for a while. What's done is done. Love you.

You're the sister I never had and the friend I'll always want to see keep doing the thing.

This show was amazing, thank you so much for everything. What a trip, I am still reeling from it 2 days later.

It's Monday following the show. I'm still in an emotional state that I simultaneously hope perpetuates and leaves me soon so I can get back into the swing of the regular world. I could have watched and listened for another 10 hours. Because of such extended exposure to your presence and presentation, I have been able to create a fantasy concert in my mind of you performing all my favorite originals and covers. Thank you again, Amanda.

I was there crying through every moment. I fucking love you Amanda. The raw honesty ripped through to my core. My hubby and I had a long talk about my abortion and miscarriage experiences and it was very healing to hear him say, "I own my part in making you go through all that." He missed this particular concert, though we usually see you together. For me though, it was a very personal journey in Denver. Love, light and life!

This show was everything I needed. I went with my mom and it was perfect. I love you so much. I just cannot stop thinking about that 5 hours and every single second of it was intentional and so brave and I feel stronger for being there. Thank you for sharing so much of you.

Went with my husband. We saw you in Tucson last year, after my mom gifted us funds to make that possible. Told her all about the show and she was thrilled for us. A week later she died unexpectedly after a routine procedure. Life’s been strange since then. Quit a toxic job I’d had for 17+ years. Bought a house. Retired, sort of. It’s been strange. The show in Denver was 6 years since my grandmother’s death. The show was freaking amazing. I’ve been a fan since the Dolls were first on npr, and it was my fifth time seeing Amanda live. Incredible. Thank you for what you’re doing, Amanda! ❤️

The concert, OH the concert in Denver. I was standing in line to go in, right at the front and I saw Amanda kind of hidden tucked into the back of the merch booth right inside the door. I just swooped by the ticket taker real quick and approached her. I gave her a gift. One of my little shadow box pocket alters. She was obviously in a hurry but so gracious. She didn’t open the gift at that time, but I’m sure she loves it. Then the show, THE FUCKING SHOW. It was just Amanda and her piano and her ukulele. It was so much more than a concert. She spoke about her life, her experiences with pregnancy, and abortion and motherhood. It was part feminist manifesto part group therapy session with a lot of ironic humor thrown it. She went for 5 hours, but it felt more like 1 for me. I wasn’t ready for it to be over when she was done. I love her more than ever now. Amanda is an unapologetic powerhouse! I bawled so many times during the show. I related to so much of her journey. It was just glorious for me. And I got to share the experience with my friend Steph who is my emotional soul sister, with Jade, my jewel of an eldest daughter who is a grown woman now, on her own journey that she could relate to Amanda’s message, and Bo, Jade’s sweet GBFF, who I introduced to Amanda’s music and who I’ve been trying to see her in concert with for 5 years now. AMANDA, I’m forever grateful for the transformative, dynamic show!
