Opened the NY Times Style section today to a really nice surprise: a "Modern Love" column penned by Julie Klausner!  Congratulations, Julie!

Joanna, a singer, summed him up: “He’s an indie rock dreamboat. His voice is transcendent and he writes lovely lyrics. He has a nice face, he has a kid and he tours a lot. He’s a star in his world.”

Oh, Ms. Newsom. You are a crazy broad.

Thank you!

I have to say, it was a little freaky having something so personal get such wide exposure (The Gray Lady, she gets around!) but I've gotten such kind responses from people who liked the essay, and this thread was just the best to read. Thanks all, seriously, so much.

GOOD GUYS WIN!

xoxo

Yeah, awesome piece, and surprisingly heartfelt.  My wife flipped open the style section and was like, "isn't this the person you're always telling me about?"
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Congrats! Who knew that such a funny lady could write for the article that always makes my girlfriend sigh and stare sadly at her pancakes on Sunday morning? Great article.

I heartily agree, although I remain dubious about the sultriness of fondue.

I'd just like to add that it was funny and also relatable. It would be great to read more about your take on modern love.
