I agree. She absolutely could. So could Dylan, JT and Springsteen. There's a reason why they don't. One of those reasons is likely to be worlwide distribution. She could also do what Van Morrison has done the last few years. He makes the records he wants and then takes them to whatever label he thinks can do the best with it because it may fit a particular genre. He makes very short term licensing deals and he owns it all. It would be something to see her do that. It just doesn't seem likely that she would. Brenda n.p.: Galliano - "Cold Wind"
