I was never a big fan of the disco thing, but she certainly had talent. RIP, Donna.

Never got to know those sugar walls personally.
God bless you Donna. I always hated disco but I danced to it because the ladies liked to dance to it. And because Prog Rock and Blues too hard to dance to.
Have fun at the big Studio 54 in the sky!

I Feel Love was ground-breaking in it's day. She claims to have been yet another victim of the toxic dust from 9/11. Its entirely possible. Very sad. RIP Donna Summer

She was riddled with problems (drugs etc.) later in life, no?
{{The conservative talk show host began his tribute to the disco icon, who died of cancer Thursday at the age of 63, by playing some of her music, then later providing his own personal take on her life and work. "I met Donna Summer one time and her husband on an airplane. She and her husband, after the flight took off, came up to me and introduced themselves, and we had a nice conversation," Limbaugh recalled. "They were one of us. They were. That's what they wanted to come tell me." Further elaborating on Summer’s apparently similar mindset, the radio figure added, "She came to hate the smut on the radio. She was not a fan of rap music at all."}} excerpt... She had claimed to become a "born again Christian" from which she also grew up singing in the Black Church. She apparently never got over to the Country-n-Western style of music, which seems to be necessary in order for validation by the dominant forces around this side of town.

I don't remember how the saying goes excactly.
"To a certain point life keeps giving ... after that it starts taking."
I fear to admit I'm in the age when life mainly takes...So many friends getting ill, milestones and icons passing away ... The feeling of being just one in the queue is so concrete.
