If you didn’t see “Glitter & Doom,” a wistful musical set to the songs of Indigo Girls, you should.
It’s damned adorable.
I saw it, but didn’t realize it was a harbinger of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers having ” a moment” this summer.
The ladies who rode into folk-rock immortality with this tune would see the song making another statement in a feminist “Barbie” movie that would become an unexpected blockbuster.
Having raised two girls who watched every cut-rate animated Barbie cartoon to come along, I’d never guess what Greta Gerwig would get out of A Doll’s Life.
But having interviewed the Indigos a few times over the years, I can say this couldn’t have happened to two cooler and nicer musicians.
Somebody re-release that single. Hey, it worked for Kate Bush.
“Closer to Fine” is even in the ads for “Barbie.”
Enjoy the ride, ladies. And take a bow.
