I would say nature is as in human nature would be the best framing of the idea if that is your take… I can see where she does have the power to affect other humans as well in that case… But generally when i think of nature it does limit itself like that… Nature like wind and rain and colliding rocks and majestic trees that live for hundreds of years… Such forces rule over our ant like machinations and psychological domains………. Let me just say thanks for such a worthy conversation to have shared and I must thank Alison for her part as well

Q, I think we have different ideas on what a “force of nature” in relation to a person means. To compare a human to a force of nature in art/music, I am noting her strength and purity.

Well of course she does… But faced with the contrasts made in this trendmaker fashion mag i have to wax on prolific as to how visceral and natural the Burning Man Feature becomes as it exposes the saltflat survivalists in contrast with the more sublime and refined qualities embraced by Alison who alludes to everything going back to muscle cars and endless highways as the romance and bromance inherent in a life of shows and street art in the making….. Alison is all about the psychology and the spirit nearly disconnected from nature like the high whine of a demolition derby speedway calling across the wilderness than any base elementia playing out its force in a landscape of rocks…. The subtleties of her evolution over the last few Kills albums reflects just how far she has come from base nature… She even states in the article how her work is more about destroying natural instincts for the sake of art… Thus we get a better understanding of why the Weather is Dead… Its true that she has passion and intensity and its true that her heart and spirit are strong like a machine made form the most powerful steel…. But it moves faster than the speed of light or heisenberg principle of uncertainty as a part of fueling a manmade fire with some high octane emotion… Her psyche itself reflects the alienation and thrust of a world far more complicated than nature in and of itself… Its pure sonic
