What vexes me is the fact that she was d off stage at, of all events, a Bob Dylan tribute concert use of her actions on SNL. The majority of those in dance remember a Dylan era in which his singing could be rstood -- when one could hear genuine words in his lyrics.

It is ous that they forget what generation they were part of while were busy getting rich in the eighties. I suppose that ming a fortysomething and losing one’s hair grants aright Pportcensorship while being cynical and unaccepting toa generation.

babyboomers, but you have quickly become what you have always strived not to -- the establishment. And to all those who are so troubled by one rock Star’s public outcry for what she believes in, don’t have a premature anxiety attack.
