let me simplify.

1. her music was ok
2. she was not an admirable person; i wouldn't mourn her, if all i knew about her was her as a person.

I'm sorry that you find it weird that i wouldn't mourn someone i dont respect. We've been through this before, i don't mourn people *just because they were a human*, i find that to be hypocrisy. I only mourn people who i feel affection towards.
Fair enough. I disagree, but to each his own.

You list here mental and physical struggles as something negative - like that's a reason to not respect her and made her "not an admiral person"? You mention her divorces, her loss of custody of children as more reasons to not respect her. Maybe, just MAYBE those things had to do with her mental struggles? As for the religion, she can follow whatever religion she wants - and saying "God speaks to me directly" and "The Pope is Meh" are not entirely inclusive statements.

I honestly don't understand why you're coming down so hard on her. She CLEARLY struggled in her life. She was wildly outspoken about what she believed (and didn't believe) in. She didn't follow a straight and normal path. Most likley not by her own choosing.
