So true. That woman could phrase like no one's business. Those long sections of "Goodbye to Love" when you just can't figure out how she hasn't needed to take a breath yet are just incredible.
Eating disorders are a terrible mental illness because sufferers are so resistant to treatment. And I don't know that they're ever really cured; just controlled. In a high stress career like music, and because we didn't know much about anorexia nervosa then... just such a shame.
