Women's History Month: Sarah McLachlan

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
I've been listening to Sarah McLachlan since I was in high school. In fact, I think she is one of the few artists that I still like from my high school days. "Into the Fire" is still one of my favorite songs by her. I also love her cover of XTC's "Dear God".

Not only is she a consummate artist, but she is a great activist for human rights. She started up Lilith Fair (remember those days?), the first all-female music festival. The money for her video "World on Fire" was donated to various world-relief agencies.
