Shes still here. I still remember my Mom asking me if I would accompany her to a film at the Warner Theatre in West Chester back in 1969. She said it was called Funny Girl and had this singer in it name Barbra Streisand. I honestly dont remember much of the movie itself until the very last song called My Man. As I watched this woman with this big nose and amazing blue eyes pour her heart out on the big screen, I remember thinking (at the age of 12) that THIS lady had something special. She was so different than anything or anyone in the turbulent decade and I felt a little validated, through her, that being different was okay. I followed her career off and on for the next several years, in a closeted sort of way, while also enjoying, Yes, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and the Rolling Stones to name a few. She became sort of my idol for fighting for what you believe in, for remaining true to oneself, and for always believing in love. She has been made fun of, characterized, and put down for her politics... but one thing remains certain... like her or hate her... Shes still here.
