yes, part of me wants to say YOU took a LOT of years away from your own artistic productivity by being far more interested in partying than in producing. All the hangers-on in her entourage, all the goofing off in the studio rather than working on her songs, all the performing live and in the studio stoned out of her mind so we got less than stellar vocal performances....all that is on HER. All the songs not written, projects not done..... so much of that is on her and her prioritization. And what about learning to say no to the managers around her who push her to do schlocky sh&t? I loved Tom's thing about her needing to remember how good she is at what she does and not listening to all the moochers around her pushing her for hit singles and quick sell out stuff. Her own fault. Love her, but for all her strong woman talk, she's been talked into so much crap and talked out of so many cool things by the moochers around her it's really sad.
