and happy birthday to her.
My cat is named Emelie Louise, partly so I can occasionally call her Emmylou.

I can't believe it has been that long.....I think that she is aging better than I am.

(42,759 posts)3. Long time womens rights activist, animal rights activist, and LGBT supporter
As a womens rights activist, Emmylou Harris fights for equality whenever she gets a chance. She has performed with Sarah McLachlan multiple times at the Lilith Fair, which is open to females-only and has raised over $10 million for charity. Harris has also worked closely with PETA and the Humane Society of the United States for years. The musician supports the LGBT community and wants her fans to know that she does not discriminate against anyone, believing in equality for all. Emmylou has a big heart, working with various groups. Her father was in the military, even being held as a prisoner of war, which has made Harris very passionate about working with veterans as well.
