Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Weird to consider she was a pretty big star in the late 70s and early 80s, but few would immediately think of her when describing the pop scene of the time.
