Barbra honey - You should know that your fans, the ones who appreciate your body of work and your passion for the truth, don't pay any attention to this crap. I completely understand why you would feel the need to 'set the record straight', but no need, babe. Anyone who really knows you ( and I don't obviously, but I certainly wish I had that opportunity - I think you'd be a great neighbor!), knows that you are really just a regular person just like the rest of us - you just happen to be 'Barbra Streisand.' No need to justify any of this ever again in my opinion. Please just keep up the good work, give your fans a great CD every year (like the most recent one for sure), and possibly one more Vegas stint or a brief concert tour before you REALLY decide not to do it anymore. I've seen you twice (1994, 2006, both in LA), and I'm very grateful for the many years of enjoyment that your work has provided me. Like it or not, you are 'The Greatest Star.'
