Such genius.

someone must have a video of her performance of "body's in trouble" on the (in ireland) legendary 'late late show'. i remember it well, i was 11 & started getting into 'alternative'music - it was one of those identity-forming moments when i looked across and saw the ashen-faced horror of my parents also watching her. it also turned out that the TV performance managed to attract complaints about putting an "ill woman" on TV! we're so used to 'eccentricities' now but back then...!

That's the voice of Dren from Splice. That's a little trivia for you.

@rickkemp1 Muslims pray 5 times a day... not 6... But yes he did need to be more respectful of others beliefs...

What a tour de force, what a beautiful woman, what a voice!

@moohoo08 i un-spammed you, not because you're right (you're not), but because your opinion, stated once – well, sorta four times, but all in one post – is as valid as any other. it is, after all, just your opinion. that's all it is.

@popvids40 it's not so simple. plus, i expect he's just as glad he wasn't dragged along for the eons it took to complete. i don't have a problem with that, it's arguably a masterpiece. Clearly a case of art rather than product.

@bryanferryfan interesting criterion. except you cared enough to tell us you don't care; and to tell us why you don't care. so, at least you know that.
The truth is that Partridge and others of his entourage were making fun of her for praying daily at a Catholic Church. I wonder what he would have done if she were a devout Muslim, praying six times a day. If he had been more respectful and tolerant, himself, he might have held onto his job. Or, maybe the truth is that he didn't have the talent to produce Miss America, he simply didn't measure up. After all, under MMOH's direction the album became one ot the greatest of all time.

The incident with Andy Partridge seems as related to his unhappiness with her working style as any intolerance over religious beliefs. From what I have read, their hands-on working relationship lasted one day and technically he was let go by her manager. It seems ridiculous to condemn or judge either of them for something that took place on a single day over twenty years ago. The truth is they were deeply incompatible as collaborators, the deep reasons for that won't flatter either of them.
