I will actually admit that when I wrote my first post and questioned Buffy Sainte-Marie's "icon" status, I genuinely thought she was some teenie-bop artist that's been attempted to be crammed down our collective throats by Can-con... kinda like a Tegan and Sara... So in my mind, I was thinking "why are we calling this nobody an 'icon'?"
Like, the name rang a bell just enough to have a passing recognition, but I couldn't tell you a single thing about her... Clearly I was just a little off the mark.
Her achievements - regardless of this whole situation - are those of an icon, even if they may not resonate with people born after she peaked. Ooops.
