What an extraordinary, inspiring person.

What was wrong with the people interviewing her though? Where was the shouting? Where were the insults? How come neither of them said "Shut up!" or "Fuck it! We'll do it live!"? Most disorienting.

And the music they played at the very end was from Mozart's Requiem, which seems somehow appropriate.
