She is just so very different from every other music icon that came before or after her, which is probably what has kept my attention for 20 years now (I became a fan at age 10!).

I have read the replies and agree with most, I have to agree with yours the best.

For me, it was obviously her raspy vocals, her mysticisim, her poetry that hit home. Her peacoat cover of RAL and feathered hair/flowing skirts in TTM/ICW/SB...who IS this woman?
Captivating talent and kindred spirit.

Gosh I sound like a drag queen now....which is actually furthest from the truth, lol. Stevie is MY Bob Dylan and Lennon wrapped up in one amazing woman.
