I mean, I understand in the sense that even I remember the 90s shift to “don’t just say ‘he’ about the doctor when you haven’t even met them,” but “they/them/themself” can be tracked as a pronoun for a person whose gender is indefinite since Middle English and identifiable in literature as far back the 14th century, an…

Goodnight Aunty 🧡

Such an icon.

She was simply the best.  Better than all the rest.  Better than anyone I’ve ever met.

Thank you for a lifetime of great music. And also for burying Ron DeSantis's campaign announcement.

Probably the most iconic and recognizable singing voice in all of showbiz.

An absolute legend and one of the best live performers ever. RIP.

We may not need another hero, but sometimes we get one anyway.

I hope she never lost a minute of sleep worrying about the way things might have been.

I’m glad that over the last couple of decades she was deservedly feted for her career when she was still around and healthy to understand how much she was admired and loved. Wish we still had her, but being pretty much universally acknowledged after all she went through to get there had to be a really good feeling…

This video might merit a flashing lights warning, but it’s gotta be one of the most intense, joyful live performances I’ve seen.

This is incredibly sad.  A rock star who’s second act started in her 40s!  I feel like almost everyone I knew growing up had Private Dancer.

RIP to a legend. There aren’t a lot of artists who were equally enjoyed by four generations of my family, but she is one of them.

My parents tell of seeing them in the early 70 (Ike and Tina). Mick Jagger borrowed liberally from her performance style. She deserved all of her later success. She worked for it.

I hope she finally has peace and rest. She earned it the hard way. Legend.

Fuck....

When I heard this I got a quick tear in my eye. One of the few singers left who would bring me to that. Now I have private dancer playing in my head. Damn. 

a force of nature, womankind is lesser today.

She’s finally gone beyond Thunderdome :(
