St. Vincent is the stage name of Tulsa-born musician, Annie Clark. Rather than playing midnight sessions of Girl Talk and writing love letters to Corey Feldman/Haim as an adolescent she got into Coltrane and Tennessee Williams. These influences proved beneficial, as she now makes lovely cut-up pop music with nice words and dramatic overtones, like this one here.

What’s your favorite Tennessee Williams play/movie and why? (Ours is Night of the Iguana; we can’t get enough of belligerent, drunk Richard Burton)
My favorite movie adaptation is The Glass Menagerie. You can’t go wrong with John Malkovitch. But my favorite TW play is Sweet Bird of Youth. Ingénues can’t be ingénues forever…

Would the world be a less or more confusing place if people communicated the way they do in Mr. Williams’ plays?
The great tragedy of the real world is that too often lust, repression and the various shades of human desire are dealt with artlessly. If only Tennessee Williams were holding the giant pen in the sky…

Who wins in a battle of ultimate piety, St. Vincent de Paul or Ignatius of Loyola?
St. Vincent de Paul hands down. [Ed-We might have to agree to disagree on this one: Loyola lived in a cave for 10 months in order to purge the sins of the flesh and fasted to the point of causing permanent damage to his digestive system, St. Vincent was just a slave of the Turks.]
