and made it to Glasto. She has no legs, though, only bones. :/
She looks rather out of it, though. Get a life, woman, and yourself into therapy. You do have a talent, please don't waste it by behaving like a fool. That's so early 70s.

I thought she put a bit of weight on a looked slightly more healthy than she has been looking recently. Although not back yet to when I saw her in Forbidden Planet.

Fortune presents gifts not according to the book. <sigh> Sometimes, I want to take Fortune out back to the woodshed and... persuade... her to pay attention to the book.

Wasn't she already in therapy, or did she change her mind? Heroin withdrawal's supposed to make you really ill, though, so maybe her apparent ill health is a better sign than it appears.

And dude, singing like that with emphysema, she was probably in a lot of pain!

I mean for real, completely change her lifestyle, that kind of thing.

Well, little by little, maybe she is - it's hard to change everything but at least she's in rehab.

I thought Free Nelson Mandela this week was AMAZING, but by god she was off her face. My boyfriend saw her at glasto and dubbed her "the biggest pisshead since Jim Morrison". I hope she doesn't die before 30 :/

Saw her on the Mandela birthday and the Glastonbury bit I shuffled across on the TV, and I thought she looked really raddled.

Barely able to sing - seemed to be just mumbling away into the mic.

I do wonder if she'd be so 'famous' if she didn't have a larger than life, splashed across the tabloids social life & addictions.

Yep. I concur.
Clive James did a rather sentimental Point of View on the subject a few weeks ago. Ah. Re-reading it, it also explains [livejournal.com profile] fractalgeek's brief insertion as well.

Considering her lung problems, that was to be expected.

I actually like her stuff and she's definitely got talent. Some people just can't deal with that, I guess.

It's not quite my cup of tea, but yes - she's certainly got (or at least had) talent. I'm not convinced she's got enough to warrant the big fuss over her.

Certainly at the present, where she seems to be unable to actually complete a sentence. maybe if she does recover from the self inflicted damage she'll mature into something bigger, but I really can't see her 'legend' status, except for consumption of narcotics!
