A total shock to hear! I've been a big fan since her first Todd Rundgren produced album. Seen her live a number of times and also caught her Biographical Off-Off Broadway show F*!k 7th Grade. 
A cool Jill story. I saw her in this dinky road house in Northwest New Jersey once. During the warm up act some town officials came on stage and stopped the show. There was a propane leak in the neighborhood and they had to evacuate the club till they got it under control. So we all were herded out to a parking lot across the way. Jill was also with the crowd and had brought her guitar with her. She headed up a sing-a-long and came up with lyrics of a song about the Propane leak on the spot. Later when the show re-commenced she reprised this song as one of her encores. 
Thanks for the music and memories Jill! RIP and say hi to your old pal Warren Zevon.

Now we can go back to the pope deciding it was time after a brief introduction to JD Vance.
