Land the right to kiss,
The right to burst into tears,
The right to flourish,
The right to be demanding,
And to demand
September 15, 1979. On the set of a TV show, a sublime brunette, dressed in black, wearing a blood-red scarf, sings with a powerful and striking voice. She does more than just sing. She lives, vibrates, asserts. Opens her arms, throws back her head. Without overdoing it, she is incandescent. The woman has something of the revolutionary muse. And of the sacrificial figure. Between song lyrics and progressive rock, she proclaims a visceral need for freedom. Just by seeing and hearing her, we can guess that she is resistant to any concession.
