Helen Reddy, who sang ground-breaking feminist anthem, in nursing home with dementia

[Paladin]

This is sad. I always enjoyed her singing, including I Am Woman. I do wish her well. 73 is not all that old, either.

I AM WOMAN singer Helen Reddy has been diagnosed with dementia. 
 
The 73-year-old singer has since moved into a Los Angeles nursing facility where she is being cared for by family and friends.

A source told an entertainment website while the debilitating illness is in its early stages, Reddy is already “asking same question every few minutes”.

Another source told website Entertainment Lead Stories that the iconic singer often forgets where she puts things.

Helen Reddy? Wouldn't it be difficult to tell if she has dementia?

Helen Reddy with dimentia:

I am woman hear me... wait... I am man watch me... no, that's not it.  Oh, yes.  I'm still an Oreo with a long, long way to go.  Or something.

That's a shame. Early onset Alzheimers and other forms of dementia are devastating to the patient and the family.

I pulled up a Youtube video of her in 2013 and suffice it to say that the years have not been very kind to the lady.

How long before the neighbor boy with evil on his mind stops by?

Sympathies to her family, but frankly I got many others who's well-being I care more about than some super leftist who likely would have no problem with me and my family taken to a camp and disposed up. I have very minimal concern for those in the high priesthood of the religion of Leftism who have proselytized it on the public stage. Like the apostle Paul, I shake off the dust and walk away to leave them to their fate. Sorry, but they are held to a higher standard.

I confess to loving "I am Woman." (I can still sing every single word).  I also liked the whole album it was on.

This truly is sad.  Far too young to have dementia.

Never cared what the politics of an entertainer are. Just if I like their stuff or not - I liked Helen Reddy. Good voice.

I remember that song on the radio back when I was a kid in high school, and of course we made fun of it a dozen ways from Sunday.
 
But looking back, especially in light of recent social developments, I have to wonder whether a modern female songstress would dare to include this line in a pop song: "But I'm still an embryo, with a long, long way to go..."

I thought the same thing when I was reminded of the song today, andy.

Kinda goes against the law of the left these days.  Embryos are just 'tissue'............ not nascent human beings who have 'a long, long way to go...'
