Give A Girl Her Due

She says "I tread a troubled track."
Yes, she's seen better days. No, she is NOT a role model for young men or women, (for that matter, neither was Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, how long do you have? the list is endless.) But her lyrics are touching, her voice is haunting and she's truly a great singer/performer. I don't think hundreds, maybe millions, of fans around the world wishing, praying and hoping she'll get her act together before she becomes a bad obituary headline will make a difference. But it would be nice if someone could get through to her.
Here's "Love Is A Losing Game" from better days.
