The New York City subway system is one of the world's major miracles, connecting millions of otherwise disconnected people into an entity far greater than themselves.  Part of what makes subway life exuberant even on the greyest of days is the rich array of music underground.  Pictured above:  Meghan McGeary, the "insect goddess," one of the fortunate few talented enough to win a lifetime license to perform. 

What is an insect goddess, you ask?  For more info, check out her web site, music video, and this helpful description from the New York Post: 

"I'm the insect goddess that's come to lift everybody out of their boring day!" announced Meghan McGeary, who kicked off the 20th year of the program by singing and playing drums in the rock-opera duo Dagmar 2.

Wearing a gold bustier and matching high heeled boots, an aviator cap with goggles and a gold-trimmed set of green mesh wings, McGeary sang a quirky song about a guy who can't get out of bed in the morning - and the "insect goddess who plunges from the ether to rescue him."

I look forward to hearing more from McGeary and Dagmar on my way to work--it seems they're getting some well-deserved good buzz!
