    Yes, and she was the best! I don’t know why these singers all lie so much. WHY Gfheorghiu doesn’t simply ADMIT she had a child with Leonard Bernstein!

    And this would kill me too. What with the golden pond called the dot.com bubble, and most of computer activity is splashing your face with stuff that’s not affording to the rest of the human race, except close friend of theirs…. oh and it’s no wonder the best ever soprano in the world didn’t make it with Mr. Pitt etc.. Deep-end-able…… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK6SS8CXYZo&fmt=22

    And she was a friend of my Russian Language Professor who was a friend of Joseph Brodsky…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OveM7hjrx-M&fmt=22

    And her singing reminds me of the woman, don’t remember her name, who mentioned that Jesus got all the way to India now:

    1) That was Thomas, his disciple, who did for sure get there, but his name wasn’t Jesus.
    2) That’s way before, when Jesus had another name. And his earthly father had been so tormented by his brothers that he was pronounced dead during a long near death experience, and had escaped there.
    3) That was Jesus.
    4) That was after Jesus died, but was resurrected, meaning he didn’t die, but how could that be, not dying. If he had to die to not die……
    5) Its all a bunch of lies from a cult following.
    6) ?
