Here's her wonderful I Walk A Little Faster:

Hey Fred! I fixed it!

This blog’s getting a little too valedictory. Goodbye Blossom. I walk a little slower.

Goodbye Lux

Lux Interior 1948–2009

Well when I die don't you burry me at all,
Just nail my bones up on the wall,
Beneath these bones let these words be seen,
“This is the bloody gears of a boppin’ machine”

—“Rockin’ Bones”
