Singer Dora Magrath Found (Updated)
UPDATE: I received an email from Dora's close friend. I had written her when Dora was missing hoping to write a story to help bring her home. However, having learned a bit more about Dora, I think she is still deserving of a story. A tribute as it were. I hope to be talking to her friend soon to get more information.
A talented singer and a tormented soul...musician Dora Magrath was found dead last night. A quote from her Myspace page: "I do not want to be a product. I do not want to sell my pretty face to sell a record. I want to play my music, to be a constant student, to live my life the way I want. And if that means that I need to have a day job, and maybe a high-paying night job a couple nights a week, then so be it. I’m tired of seeing every musician turn themselves into a product, into something smooth and glossy that everyone will automatically “love.” I don’t want to smooth out the rough edges, I don’t want to make myself into something or some one that moves with the tide. I want to own one wave, own the bubbles and the rough edges and the swooshing of that one wave and know that I move with it, move like it, because I wish, not because I can gain the whole ocean from it."

This is so sad. I read Holliston's story on her yesterday and I went to her page and read about her. I wonder what happened to her. Holliston, keep us posted. Thanks.

What a sad story, and a loss for the family and the world. Such a talent. She seemed like a beautiful young woman with a tremendous amount of talent and a unique soul. May she ride her own wave peacefully into eternity now. Godspeed Dora !
