I agree. Joan's in the next room, singing to the class. Mimi was right there. And such an ineffable quality of joy, to R and M's sound.Joan never wanted my sorrow, packed up or not, but it was certainly a comfort to hear about sharing from someone..
And while we're angering people with opinions, I think that that "Positively 4th Street" book should be avoided. The fact that singers, and artists in general, are not perfect people is hardly news, and I find the grim details unpleasant to read.
