I guess you might say they were easily intimidated. But I try never to let my emotions get the best of me. In our society men seem naturally to have their guard up a little more. I don't think it's that guys are actually emotionally stronger, it's just that they usually have a stronger shield. You see, there has to be a better exchange from both sides.
Guys have to learn to be a little more sensitive, to open themselves up a little more.
And chicks have to sort of borrow some of that 'Kryptonite' guard that guys sometimes seem to have a monopoly on. After living on and off for more than six years with the same man, Blue Oyster Cult keyboard player, Allan Lanier, Patti has certainly come a long way with quite an education. It's relating to people, and particularly to the fans she adores, that pleases her most. That comes when you feel inside like you've done the highest thing possible. And then there's getting your personal satisfaction through others.
