I was always of the belief that her problem was a total inability to hold a note

I don't think her behavior has been the cause of her behavior, but it may have been symptomatic of it. She does have my sympathy. She has had a good run. As I said before, I hope this causes her to concentrate more on the music than selling flesh. I hope we all get to find oput just how good she really is.

Metchosin.

You speak as if pitying someone were a bad thing? I can't say as I agree.

Excellent post, Metchosin, thank you. Don't know anything about the woman in question, but she is a human being with problems, as well as everything else.

Celtic Soul, "pity" to me implies a Victorian sensibility and with it an implicit objectifying sense of superiority.

No surprise there Spaw, the prevailing attidudes towards mental disorders, even transient ones, more often than not, are couched in shame, hence euphamisms. Guess they just couldn't quite get their toungue around saying something in public such as "bipolar disorder/manic depressive" or just plain "depressed". Then again, they could have just said "she has the vapours".*BG*
