SOUNDBITE (English) Christine Lavin/Musician, on whether touring, playing and recording mean she's living the dream:\u003cbr/\u003e\"(Laughs.) Well, the reality is that I moved out of New York City in January and I live in tiny town upstate and I'm helping to take care of my mother, who is 91, in between concert trips. So, I'm living a very schizoid dream right now, because when I'm off on the road and performing and seeing audiences, I love it. And then when I go home, I cook and I clean and I'm there for my mother. She doesn't have short-term memory. It's very fading with her. But she can still play Scrabble and she remembers her childhood. But I really enjoy that, too. Because I don't have any children, and I feel like this is my, you know, all my maternal instincts are coming out, taking care of her when I'm not on the road.\"\u003cbr/\u003e16. Performance clip: Christine Lavin - \"Realities\"\u003cbr/\u003eChristine Lavin calls herself \"someone who observes the world in all of its craziness, and I'm able to make it all rhyme.\"\u003cbr/\u003eIndeed, Lavin has been doing that professionally for more than a quarter of a century, and, among fans of contemporary American folk music, she's widely considered one of the genre's queens. How she got there provides the foundation of her recently released memoir with one quirky title, \"Cold Pizza for Breakfast: A Mem-Wha??\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"As I was writing it,\" Lavin explained, \"I found myself at my computer and every few pages, I'd write some crazy story, and I'd go, 'Wha??''Wha??' I can't believe these things happened to me. And it just occurred to me: 'Memoir,' 'Mem-Wha??'\" \u003cbr/\u003eWhile her career has, for the most part, been something to sing about, Lavin also recounts some downright-painful music-biz experiences. \u003cbr/\u003e\"A journalist in Nashville once said to me, 'There's always a certain of level of . . . of bullshit in the music business. And if you can just recognize that fact and rise above it, and know it never goes away completely. And that has really helped me, because every few years I get involved in some kind of business deal that goes horribly wrong. And I said, 'Ohhhhhh! This is the bullshit he was talking about!' I can rise above it.\" \u003cbr/\u003eLavin's latest CD is also titled \"Cold Pizza for Breakfast\" and includes a new folk reboot of The Killers' pop and club favorite, \"Human.\" \"Well, for one thing, when I heard of the band called 'The Killers,' even before I heard their music, I hated them, because why would you call yourself 'The Killers'? That's horrible! Killing people or killing things,\" Lavin noted. \" So, I was very surprised when I heard the song and I loved it so much and, 'It's by those Killers that I thought I hated,' but, when I first heard it, I thought, 'That's a folk song.

And I thought, 'I would like to take it back to its roots.'\"\u003cbr/\u003eLavin, who turns 59 Sunday (2 January 2011), said she's currently got something of a \"schizoid\" existence - splitting time on the road with time helping to care for her elderly mother. \"When I'm off on the road and performing and seeing audiences, I love it,\" she explained. \"And then when I go home, I cook and I clean and I'm there for my mother. She doesn't have short-term memory. It's very fading with her. But she can still play Scrabble and she remembers her childhood. But I really enjoy that, too.
