I was hopeful that what happened to Joni would also happen to Neil Young - alas…..

Lol! Neil would probably invent some way to blame Trump if he lost (what remains of) his singing voice.

LiI would nominate Bette Midler for some similar “treatment”.
She become filled with scolding hatred for anything conservative.

Another worthwhile opera crush is Russian soprano Olga Peretyatko:

I caught a gliompse of her on the Classic Art Showcase channel in a somewhat obscure opera by Rossini called Matilde de Shabran. She sounded and looked incredible. I may order that Blu-ray which also features Juan Diego Flores. She has sung at the Met, but I do not yet know if she is in any of the operas on their streaming service.
