I agree. I rooted for her because she was an extraordinary performer! The fact that she could rock so hard more than some men was fascinating to me.
Women in rock and roll? Just not an easy job or career. And I thought the reviews of her work were definitely unfair.
I can't stand what she became over time. But, I'll always root for the fact that she pioneered concert performances with extreme intensity and showmanship that left some men in the dust.
