She went to my school, the College-Conservatory of Music at the U of Cincinnati. For some reason, it was always said around there that she hated it and would have nothing to do with it anymore. And she never did come by for a visit or concert or anything. I wonder why?

Jessye Norman shaded her nicely according to an opera thread from a few years ago. The story went that a friend of hers was reading aloud from a review mentioning "black American soprano Kathleen Battle." Jessye shot back, "BLACK? That's news to her!"

I'm a limo driver who's tired of her shit, so I'm cranking the AC up to "Meat Locker."

She might have been a terror behind the scenes, but she had the most glorious voice imaginable. It's a pity; with her looks and talent, she could have had it all.
