I love her. I've never met her and never will, and she may be the biggest asshole ever in person, but fuck it, I love her.

@zappaphile76 Wow is she really that bad in person?

[zappaphile76]

@justincredible214  I have no idea. Probably not. That was my (somewhat poorly worded) point. "may" = "even if she turned out to be"

[jacqueg1]

Janis Joplin once stood in the wings listening to Mavis sing and ruefully lamented "I'll never be able to sing like that", and meant it with all her heart. Mavis is one of our iconic voices. Outstanding.

Some artist need to know when to withdraw from performing.
