Florence Welch..of the machine

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_and_the_Machine

Florence Leontine Mary Welch (born 28 August 1986 in Camberwell) is the daughter of Evelyn Welch, a Harvard-educated Professor of Renaissance Studies and Academic Dean of Arts at Queen Mary, University of London, and Nick Welch, an advertising executive. Evelyn is also the niece of the satirist Craig Brown. Nick contributed a “rock and roll element to the family mix”; in his 20s he used to live in the West End squat and attended the Squatters’ Ball organised by Heathcote Williams where The 101ers played regularly. Himself a self-confessed “frustrated performer”, if Nick, as he put it, “nudged Flo in any way it’s only been to listen to The Ramones rather than Green Day”. Evelyn had an equally strong, even if completely different influence on her daughter. A visit to one of her mother’s lectures left teenage Florence deeply impressed. She explained, “I aspire to something like that but with music. I hope that my music has some of the big themes—sex, death, love, violence—that will still be part of the human story in 200 years’ time.”

  1. I am not up on the events and whereabouts of the pop/rock artists of today and don’t read “People Magazine” or watch “Entertainment Tonight” on TV. I just see two pretty ladies who I do not know, do not care if I know, and I am a little disturbed at the homophobic comment at the end. So that to me…is the end of that. But I did notice, like Dorothy in the Wizard of OZ, that one wants to tap her red shoes and go home. What’s next?

  2. Seek, is this the Nick Welch that is her father?
