Man, I can't understand what is going on with this lady in this video. She seems to be fucking drunk. It seems she has drunk a bottle of vodka at one dash before of singing this song. Was she really drunk?

No cynicism on this one kid. For one to be moved by music is the idea actually. I kind of catharsis.

This is a song, sung by a most amazing talent, trying desperately to educate. She was a most amazing gift. Ahead of her time. Snuffed out like so many American talents...musical, political, democratic...so amazing that this commentary is so passionate even now, that her music still raises this passion...not all is lost in america after all! Way to go Billie! Your life was cut short, but your words are still raising voices...you didn't die in vain.
