From the moment she first shimmied onto the stage in her tacky white slit-to-the-hip lamee costume and belted out her frenzied version of "Friends," she had her sparkle-studded, magenta-lipped fans by the balls.

"Yeah, we had a lousy hotel in Montreal too," and that the way to get back at these hotels is to cut a slit in the mattress, take a shit into the slit, and leave. One of the crew had only been home two weeks in a year of touring--he was talking about "backpacking in Nova Scotia," after this tour was over...
