"Nostalgia has always been built into her catalog. But can she make the distant past vital again?" and answers "Certain women of the pre-music-video era can now seemingly go on forever." <br /><br />Incredible though it seems, if you become the Seventies icon people will go to your show to participate in a past that isn't theirs, to be in the Seventies for awhile. Soon they'll collect disco balls. And I wonder who will be the Millenial icon? wildswanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975129877750876072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-82973427840500657332016-08-12T17:13:56.450-05:002016-08-12T17:13:56.450-05:00If anyone wants aerial photos of her Malibu mansio...If anyone wants aerial photos of her Malibu mansion, email me.Fernandinandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253225431705407699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-91420655228072477022016-08-12T16:45:35.256-05:002016-08-12T16:45:35.256-05:00Hey ya'll prepare yourself for the rubberband ...<br />Hey ya'll prepare yourself for the rubberband man<br />You've never heard a sound<br />Like the rubberband man<br />You're bound to lose control<br />When the rubberband starts to jamtoxdochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04931169033573714665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-58640559364470219852016-08-12T16:44:05.098-05:002016-08-12T16:44:05.098-05:00When is she going to retire......again?When is she going to retire......again?madAsHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01149940549262340795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-61147449270423669132016-08-12T16:25:28.468-05:002016-08-12T16:25:28.468-05:00Add a tub bass & blow across a whisky jug, &am...Add a tub bass & blow across a whisky jug, & you'd have "Streisand does Hillbilly".<br /><br />Hey, if she can sing Debussy chansons, she can branch out & sing "You ain't woman enough to take my man".YoungHegelianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723316130501823658noreply@blogger.com
