And just when I thought she'd done everything (and everyone) else....... Let's face it, though - would she be where she is today if she'd portrayed herself as anything but? Sadly, sex and scandal sell, regardless of the musical talent of the individual,or the lack thereof (And at the risk of starting yet another rant, as an example I would use Adam Ant). Personally, I like Ma - I "came of age" in the early 80's and she had a definite influence on my life at the time, from a musical perspective - but I also like Frank Sinatra, Tchaikovsky, Peggy Lee, our beloved St. Basia, and a whole cadre of other artists - they all have something to offer, as far as my individual tastes (however questionable to some of you) are concerned. But it has been fun... I'm fairly new to this list and this is a LOT more traffic than I ever thought I would see. Now, if we can only get Basia to put forth this kind of effort, we might actually get another CD or two out of her, and we could drop the "Bless us and save us, our dear Saint Muzak" mantra. My nickel's worth... two cents don't cut it!

No canonization on this ML, please. ;-) I don't think that sweetness and light was ever part of her image anyway, just what a lot of you are projecting onto her.

Because the posting on this list sometimes contain so many "text attachments" and (Thanks Larry for pointing this out) internet addressing, I seem to skim over all the bullshit and sometime miss important topics. About 2 weeks ago I offered (2) potential bootleg recordings and nobody out gave a shit, amazing! It must have slid on by amongst all the mucky muck. So I quess I'll decline my offer. This is what said; PS..This year I plan on releasing two (2) basia bootleg CDs of some tape I've come across. The recordings are poor to very poor. The first release will be the 1988 tour and the second release will be of the 1990 tour. You can contact me about this this matter if you have interest. I will say that I am not going to do this if i am going to catch hell from anybody, legal or otherwise. they will be free of charge above the cost of materials and handling. If anybody else has any other live recordings of Basia please contact me. If you comments are not directly concerning Basia, Go elsewhere.
