C is the artist who's planning to go beyond music into ventures involving education, AI, and a book called Transhumanism for Babies. C is the sometime paramour of Elon Musk (exact terms of that relationship tend to oscillate) and co-parent of two kids. C has tattoos on her fingers underneath multiple metal rings, and what looks like a spiderweb tattoo on her right ear. C wants to die on Mars, or maybe an exoplanet-unless her kids, X and Y, want her to help out with the grandchildren. C is frank, funny, and a little worried that she's not getting her points across. C doesn't have to worry about that-communication, after all, is what she (and Grimes) are very, very good at.
And there was a lot to communicate. Frankly, I was wondering whether c and I would get along. I'm a baby boomer who mainlined Dylan, and she's a 35-year-old, laptop-oriented songcrafter, a polarizing social media icon, and a wary celebrity who sometimes shines in the glare of her partner's outsize fame and other times is understandably insistent on privacy. When I told my millennial son that I was interviewing her, he questioned her relevance. And why, of all people, was I doing the interview?
