I like her as a blonde. I went blonde for a while, but it is rough on your hair. I am back to being an RBC (redhead by choice).

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Yes, she ripped off her birka in front of the troops in Afghanistan for a great rock show.

And you have a problem with this....?

[tet68]

Rolling Stone....just another checkout counter magazine.

Filled with steel-bellied airheads and stories about how to
please a man.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

I also went blonde after my hair turned dark and you're right..ROUGH on your hair!

But maybe because Joan's got it short (like Eminem) it's not so hard on one's hair? Only on the scalp! (Ouch!).

Perhaps his problem is with this:

"Chief speakers included NOW's President Patricia Ireland; the Rev. Jesse Jackson; United States Representative Chuck Schumer (D-NY); survivors of anti-abortion violence; Salt from the rap group Salt `n Pepa; and Cagney and Lacey stars Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless. The day's entertainment included popular performers Luscious Jackson, Joan Jet and the Blackhearts, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and Disappear Fear."

You have these corporate morons running FM that have no clue. In the early 90's there was this wave of stations mixing classic rock with modern rock. Look, the last thing I want to hear is Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" followed by some Green Day song.

Actually the better magazine for women is Vogue, or the Euro versions of Vogue. :)

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Hon, we heard you the first time...

YAWN!

[dead]

She's right mostly, but "The Donnas"?!? Bubble-gum crapola if you ask me.

What about Courtney Love, Liz Phair or Kim Deal? Those chicks rock.

[Bella_Bru]

Well, that's you. Ok for you. Were you expecting me to go and search for every non pro-life musician and get rid of my copies of their CDs? No dice.

[Search4Truth]

You mean this one?

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. -- John Stuart Mill --"

This story appeared in The Herald: Tuesday, April 11, 1995

A lot can happen in 7 1/2 years.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

I love Courtney. She's psycho, but she voted Repub in at least one election and has said she's PRO-America, even talked about joining the Marine's after 9/11.

Have you heard the Distillers?

[Bella_Bru]

Kim Deal never got enough press. Neither did Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon either.

[Libloather]

...but we all understand that they have NOTHING TO DO WITH SPORTS...

That all depends on what your definition of 'sports' is...

[Search4Truth]

Point taken.

[nunya bidness]

I don't think Joan gives a damn about her bad reputation.

[Bella_Bru]

Yeas, I have heard of The Distillers. They are ok. They played a show down here with Garbage a few months ago.

[Skooz]

Niether did Maria McKee or Exene Cervenka.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

I like her voice. She's married to Tim Armstrong...from...um, forgot that band.
