the few times I ran across her singing I was impressed with her talent. I often think it's the fans who insist their idols live fast and die young, for them...because their own lives are so drab and hum-drum and filled with cringing fear. Also because it takes dynamite to blast away the cultural bullshit we all grow up with...it takes an act of destruction to break free and sometimes you just keep exploding, until the success you dreamed of becomes another strait-jacket.

From the fireplace into the fire. It turns out to be just as disgusting to be "loved" by fellow citizens as it is to be rejected, or not seen, by them.

It always strikes me as odd, in this day of reality teevee especially, that so little attention is given to the lives of those who win lotteries....so much promotion goes into getting us to buy the tickets and so little attention on the big winners....we're simply supposed to assume that they live happily ever after...because what would happen to the American dream, to the dreams of young rock stars, if we learned the toll winning and success takes on those foolish enough to get there?

Old gypsy curse: may you get what you wish for.
