Arrests for animals rights activities?
It seems that she has been arrested at least twice (in New York and Paris) for animals rights protest activities. Someone may want to post more details if that is correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.210.174 (talk) 18:29, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

"distinctive amusia"
this contention, apparently drawn from her autobiography, needs elaboration. the lady clearly can write & recognise music, & has no problem performing it live or in the studio. following the link to the page on amusia, one learns that there are two distinct forms- inherited amusia, & that which results from a cerebral injury. it needs clarifying here which she apparently suffers from. I've read her book & don't remember this being much of a thing, & you'd think it would, what with her (& me) being musicians. further, there's no mention of her on the linked page in among the great & the good who've been listed as notable sufferers. what makes it 'distinctive'? is some smart arse using the term incorrectly to take a swipe at her vocal style or what?

 * agreed! this is total nonsense unless it's some humorous, self-deprecating direct quote from her, in which case the full context needs to be included.  her rhythm and vocal control are both extrordinary and obviously intentionally crafted.  "amusia" is a very extraordinary claim and demands extraordinary evidence to back it up. In fact I'm just removing that statement, and if someone wants to reinstate it, then it needs to be cited as a direct quote or something, not just a personal interpretation.

Weird non sequitur
Presently, we have wording that says She returned to France in 1976 to try to form a band but it did not materialize. She left Kent for Michael Fradji Memmi, bass player of the Frenchies, which she joined. That doesn't make any sense, wince she was in France in 1976, in Cleveland immediately before that in 1975, but was at Kent State in 1970. But I'm not sure if this "She left Kent ..." sentence need to move to fit somewhere else in the chronology, or if "Kent" is wrong here and should say "France". Or this might be a reference to Nick Kent, but nothing in our article suggests they had a romantic relationship, only that she met him and he helped her get a job at NME. So, someone who knows the material better please fix this one way or another. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  05:19, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
