I made this pick years and years ago. Probably close to two decades ago. Not sure why it never got posted until now. It's got her favorite girl power song from the Runaways. She did get to meet Joan Jett around then. She was reading the Madeliene books (and watching the cartoons). Shonen Knife was big in our house, but also Spice Girls. I had some influence and she had more. Still does. Strong woman even now. And is a mom and a business owner. Proud of her. When she got this CD it had her name customized on the cover (instead of the generic Woman).

Thank you, great diversity. There is not one ideal woman, unless you are married to her. Always brilliant to see the great Yoko Ono included, so often overlooked.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to strong women there is one Dutch artist who sang that she will be happy & is luckily without him. That is a double meaning in: I am "gelukkig" without you.

I cannot find a clip only this kind a video. Fantastic track from an independent woman.
This other track by Conny Vamdenbos is an old people's favorite. Have you done a pick on Roses? Well, you have.
