There are several of the older singers still recording killer stuff, but they don't get air play.Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-24056570162914652362012-08-04T09:42:45.714-05:002012-08-04T09:42:45.714-05:00I will be back on Sunday to comment on everyone...I will be back on Sunday to comment on everyone's entries.

Not everyone's cup of tea (remember the outrage when she tore the picture of the Pope up onstage on TV?), but I love her ignoring the risk factor and speaking out. Did you know she wrote (and sang the original female part on) Peter Gabriel's most touching song, "Don't Give Up"? It's been in several movies, but that version is with the equally lovely and ethereal and quirky Kate Bush. Thanks so much!
