If so, please share your tale.

Yes. And not much of a tale to tell. She's as great as you'd expect (and much greater than Loogs would expect). I remember for a couple songs she played guitar and for another one she played trumpet - even though, technically, she couldn't play either.

I figured if anyone's seen her on this board, it had to be you, Rads. And trumpet? Shit, just feeds my curiosity that much more to experience one of her shows.

I've seen her. I was not really impressed, but then I'm not that impressed with her music in general so I might not be the best person to ask. She was keen on the wacky instrumentation though.

Is she at least worth seeing for the sake of history?

Been there, and no.

Saw her at Fuji Rock a few years back. She was the biggest name playing the smallest most inconvenient stage of the festival. Spent most of her set cursing Bush and rambling on & on about the eco-friendly facilities at the Japanese site. She wore a guitar, but I didn't see her strum the thing in the 10 minutes I stood watching the haggard-looking thing. I don't think you could pay someone to go down on her. Well, maybe Monty.

She's worth seeing FULL STOP (I would've typed PERIOD, but that'd just be setting up someone for a menstruation joke). I thought she came across as a charismatic, intelligent, and stunning performer. She's not an oldies act retreading a few golden moments, she's still alive as an artist (although, y'gotta remember, she's more of an artist than a musician). Go and see her if you get the chance.

The artist vs musician reference -- that's what I thought. Being that she's been involved with stage and theatre, I figure it was more performance art vs gettin' down and dirty with one of the original punk divas.

i don't really believe in seeing someone for the sake of history. especially for my own.
