I'm as American as they come. But when I was in the military, I was stationed in England for six years. The difference between each country is night and day. England, and Europe as a whole, treat people they love very differently than they do here in America. Tina made a good move when she moved to Switzerland and eventually became a Swiss citizen. They love her and keep on loving her years after she stopped making music. She seems to be a very, very logical person. Much respect to her...

Agree. I love in the U.S. and I hate the treatment our country gives to some of the legends. If they're no longer on the radar or have number hits, then they don't care for them too much. Its the same with actors and actresses. They only concentrate on the up incoming instead giving the attention the veteran actors. One of the reasons why I don't blame Tina for moving to Europe.
