Vocalist

The Resume

    (March 10, 1966- )
    Lead singer for Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians
    Wife of Paul Simon (1992- )
    Portrayed the folk singer in 'Born on the Fourth of July'
    Recorded 'Ghost of a Dog,' 'Picture Perfect Morning' and 'Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars'
    Recorded 'What I Am,' 'Love Like We Do,' 'Little Miss S' and 'The Wheel'

Why she might be annoying:

    She wastes valuable studio time by jamming and not rehearsing.
    When Geffen records changed the name of the group from the 'New Bohemians' to 'Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians,' it almost triggered a break up.
    Edie quit the band for a few weeks when her band mates question her loyalties.
    While touring Europe, a backlash in her hometown of Dallas erupted.
    The local band, Toadies, sung 'I Hope You Die,' directed at Edie.
    Towards the end of their year and a half tour, the band mates were getting sick of each other (1991).
    When the New Bohemians broke up she formed a new group called Slip, still under contract to Geffen.
    Geffen rejected Slip's CD.
    She told them if they didn't like it, they should let her out of her contract, much to her surprise and dismay, they did.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She attended Southern Methodist University.
    She reasoned 'You can look back at anything and wish you'd done something differently, but who cares?
    I can honestly look back and realize that everything happened for a reason.'
