Yes, she did talk about playing an instrument on stage recently. However, she wasn't talking about the guitars in the statement to which I refer. She was talking about back when they were poor and would have to set up the stage themselves, packing, unpacking and carrying the equipment to the stage to set it up. It wasn't a question of pretending there are no physical differences between men and women. It was a gender role assignment issue.
