No, no....it's just that I believe that Stevie has been weakly misread, & that out of this misprision the steamily rubescent sexuality in her songs has been marginalized. I'd like to see critical analyses of that aspect of her art, to bring the erogenous zone to the center, as it were--similar to the way Camille Paglia strongly misread Emily Dickinson & restored Emily's vampirism, voyeurism, lesbianism & fetishism. Stevie is our modern-day DICKinson, I believe.

Well maybe that part came from an adjoining or unrelated page in her journal.
