So you're saying she should hang about with obscure musicians because
it's clever? Now *that* sounds like a sell-out of sorts!
And if Patti wanted to be Debbie Harry, cool. Why shouldn't she be who
she wants to be? She could be bloody Britney Spears for all I care.
She's an artist and as an artist she is free to express herself in
whatever way she pleases. She shouldn't just go out and pander to the
snobbery of a few hardcore fans who seem to abhor popularity.
