When I was 10 I used to crank Patsy Cline (which my parents loved) and sing to her at the top of my lungs, VERY badly (which my parents hated.) Then when I was 12 my best guy friend moved to CA and gave me the new Lynyrd Skynyrd album, you know, with Freebird. I played it over and over sobbing. Madness I tell you. I thought my mom was going to lose it.

When I was 14 my boyfriend loved the Cars so I played them loudly, and often. Mom and Dad hated, hated, hated the Cars. The rest of high school is a blur and I graduated by 17 so I was out of the house by then. After that I only drove roommates crazy. Babes in Toyland played a part in that.

Good stuff, Wendy. I saw a cute video on youtube of Kat dancing at an M.I.A. show.

Love to all of my musical forefathers, but I could never get into Dylan. His voice just isn’t for me. My dad borrows my Ryan Adams cd’s when I’m home and insists that I can’t like Ryan without liking Bob. I don’t hear the similarities, but whatever.
