My first and worst husband used to bring me the most beautiful floral displays. Bday, Vday, Sorry I threw a beer bottle at you, Xmas...flowers @ xmas?? Finally I said something, how beautiful they are but they dont last and it would be nice to have a present actually stick around...and he threw an absolute hissy fit about it. THEN I visited his sterio shop and all became clear....It was right next door to a really nice Florist. The flowers meant nothing, it was just geographically expedient. Should have married someone next to a Jaguar Dealer. #caturday #mensuck #flowers

Yet another story of a brilliant woman musician who was manipulated and cheated by the men closest to her. Gilberto sees none of the benefits of her art that made others rich.

I'd love to see a film about her along the lines of I, Tina and What Happened, Miss Simone?
