She's apparently a legendary singer, in the province I live in, and I have never heard of her before?

Has the word legendary become as watered down as the word hero now?

I'm guessing you're young. She was kind of a big deal in past decades.

I'm 49. I'm not exactly sure where she was a big deal, because I didn't live under a rock.

Really? I am young, but apparently she did stuff with Johnny Cash and was a recurring feature an Sesame Street (explaining native issues, which is what makes this especially egregious).

shrug

I probably saw her, she just never registered anything beyond a human talking to a puppet.

Yeah I listen to a lot of music and have never heard of her either

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Ditto. I even have a large music collection on my HDD. Lived on Much Music as a kid. Even watched Sesame Street.

I wonder if the people downvoting anyone ignorant of her even know who she is outside of what's happening right now.

Feels like a lot of people looking for reasons to be offended once again.

She was on Sesame Street in the 1970's, and one of her albums charted in Canada in 1992.

Legend is not the correct word.
