Truly sad news. She was a complicated character, a spirit of protest, rejected and crushed by the society when she openly criticized the Catholic Church for the hush-hushed problem of child abuse.
Absolutely. Her treatment after that protest was really disgusting and definitely damaged her career long term, but I'm glad she was at least able to make music work on her own terms, mostly. I was lucky enough to see her live several times and was blown away after every performance. This is a loss that's hit hard.
