Barbra Joan Streetsand

I HAVE LOVED BARBRA SINCE I CAN REMEMBER. MY DREAM FINALLY CAME TRUE WHEN I GOT TO SEE HER IN CONCERT AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ON OCT 11 2006. ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T GO TO THE ONE THAT WENT DOWN IN INFAMY, I WENT TO THE VERY NEXT SHOW WHERE SHE EXPLAINED THAT "YOU CAN TAKE THE GIRL OUT OF BROOKLYN BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE BROOKLYN OUT OF THE GIRL." I DID, HOWEVER, MANAGE TO DOWNLOAD A VIDEO WITH THE COOL LITTLE DANCE MIX OF THE EXPLETIVES THAT WERE WELL CALLED FOR MIXED BY AN L.A. BASED DJ NAMED RevoLucian. I DO SOMETIMES FEEL GUILTY THAT I LEAVE IT ON THERE. I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO ASSOCIATE BARBRA WITH JUST THAT. SHE IS SO MUCH MORE! I SOMETIMES FEEL COMPELLED TO REMOVE IT BUT I REALIZE THAT THIS IS ALSO A PART OF WHO BARBRA IS, A STRONG PASSIONATE WOMAN WHO WILL FIGHT FOR WHAT SHE BELIEVES IN. SHE'S HAD TO FIGHT FOR MANY THINGS HER WHOLE LIFE WHETHER IT BE FOR HER INITIAL SUCCESS OR THE PRESS' UNFAIR PORTRAYAL OF HER AS A NASTY DIVA. PEOPLE SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT THEY WILL BE ATTENDING A FUNDRAISER FOR BARBRA'S CAUSES WHEN THEY ATTEND ONE OF HER CONCERTS. THAT'S WHERE THE PROCEEDS GO. THAT'S WHY I KEEP THE STFU MIX OF BARBRA ON MY SITE. IT IS TO PAY HOMAGE TO HER RIGHT TO INVOLVE HER WHOLE LIFE'S PASSIONS IN HER PERFORMANCES. AFTER YEARS OF NOT PERFORMING MYSELF, I AM BACK ON STAGE IMPERSONATING BARBRA(STAGE FRIGHT AND ALL), PER POPULAR DEMAND. I'M IN NEW HAVEN CT FOR NOW. I LIVE WITH MY PARTNER OF 7 YEARS THIS COMING APRIL, STEVE, AND OUR SPOILED DOG COSMO. I LIKE TO BE A CLOWN AND HAVE FUN WHEREVER I GO. MY PHILOSOPHY IS: YOU CAN'T CONTROL SOME EVENTS THAT HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE BUT YOU CAN CONTROL HOW YOU REACT TO THEM. LEMONADE IS EASIER TO SWALLOW THAN STRAIGHT LEMONS! SO BE OBNOXIOUS BE A LITTLE CHEEZY. HAVE FUN WITH THE TIME YOU HAVE LEFT ON EARTH!! I LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT BARBRA THINKS SIMILARLY.
