Iirc she was a pretty young adult when she did it. Not the age bracket for thinking ahead.

I get what you’re saying, but at the same time, even young me wanted to know more about what she was saying because it was clearly real.

I also agree it was a different time and the way info was handled and disseminated was wildly different too.

She just got the absolute shit end of the deal though.

I think she was principled, it doesn't mean she wasn't looking forward she was setting herself aside in favour of a justified cause in her eyes. It was selfless not poor forethought.

She said in an article i read today that she was proud because it prevented her from being No. 1 again, which is something she never intended. What a badass punk.

Maybe. Probably. You’re probably right.
