Violinist Lili Haydn set to rock with Roger Waters at Coachella
By Arrissia Owen Turner
It’s not often a violin player steals the show from a rock icon, but during Roger Waters’s Sunday performance at Coachella you may struggle to keep your eyes off L.A.’s Lili Haydn. After running through childhood aspirations of acting — she played Rodney Dangerfield’s daughter in the 1983 movie Easy Money — she discovered the violin and shifted her focus to classical music.
She got distracted for a bit pursuing her degree in political science at Brown University, but that just makes her an even more kick-ass party guest.

Have you ever gone through a really dry period sexually? At first you get angry that you're being neglected and ignored, and you act out. Then one day you wake up with a sense of nonchalance and you start to marvel at how much you're getting done, and how much easier it is not to care. And then... one day, maybe a stranger comes and begins to romance you and strokes your hair in a sort of contemplative way, uttering the most delightful insights. He touches your hand softly and then a little more firmly, awakening the feelings that you thought you'd left behind, and then you start speaking really poetically and hearing melodies and then suddenly you WANT IN!

just in Israel over the holidays...at the 'wailing wall' and in the tunnel excavating the continuation of the wall. the air is heavy with agendas and prayers and longing. my mom used to say "the promised land should be declared a state of mind. that way, everyone can live there...free of the need to be free." peace, lili Click HERE to see pictures.
