Exene Cervenka.

You are the first FReeper I have met who has ever mentioned her!!!!!

I actually met Exene.

Not friendly, but she was playing cards with a friend of mine recently for a while.

Oh yeah. I was a MONSTER HUGE X fan in the eighties. Billy Zoom (a born-again Christian, BTW) is one of my all-time favorite guitarists. He could smoke punk/rockabilly with the best of them.

And Exene was just the perfect lead vocalist. She had an unbelievable combo of raw punk intensity and poetic vulnerability.

How about Poison Ivy of the Cramps?

Her?? I thought it was an it!

Something only gynecologists talked about.

Saw X in the early-mid 80's. Unreal show, what was the guitarists name? Johhny Lightning or something? He was the the coolest looking band member ever ( execpt maybe Danny Elfman). Decent chops, but like a cartoon come to life in person.

I met Exene when her "country" band the Original Sinners came to town. Some friends of mine talked to her when X played town last week. One of them used to have the band over to his house 20 years ago.

I know what X did but I never listened to them. I like some of John Doe's later work.
