“I’m definitely interesting in accomplishing a lot,” Stringfellow says. “I’ve been trying to find an overarching mission in my life, trying to propel communication of a certain direct emotion between people.
“I’m so into it that I put myself in situations where I do that all the time, whether it’s helping REM with their message, or doing my own thing, or doing the Posies thing.”
