"A bout with scarlet fever at age 7 left her with recurring hallucinations."
Well, that explains a lot, but I'm not sure it was the scarlet fever that gave her hallucinations; probably it was more like the acid, LSD, and other drugs she did starting in the 60s and, apparently, continuing to today.
She used to be good on stage ..But who cares what she thinks about politics .She dosen't have a clue. Saw her last year by the way ..All but fell asleep standing up by the 4th song .
HAS BEEN !!!
