when she was writing in the English music press more than 30 years ago. She was a mean-spirited, batshit-crazy liar then. So much so that I remember her all these years later for those very qualities. She hasn't changed a bit.

ETA: Ms McNeill's blog is most excellent and now bookmarked.

The psychosexual pathologies, and just plain pathologies, manifested in those quotes would keep a platoon of psychiatrists busy for decades. Paranoia, delusion. persecution complexes and shit for which there probably isn't diagnostic vocabulary. They are as every bit as deranged as the dominionists and in exactly the same way.

And we have to put up with this psychotic bullshit right here on DU.
