Amy and Grace share their bummer news of the week – artists missing from Rolling Stone’s 200 greatest singers of all time list, and the pressures within the entertainment industry. They also share their antidotes: cooking and New Year’s rituals.
This week’s Creative Tap-In: 
“Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that’s easy. What’s hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.”
- Charles Mingus
