music
Well, first of all, they're all about the music and all I care about in my professional career is the music.
hands air people
When I do a concert and people put their hands in the air, they're doing it on their own.
sweet rocks dancer
I look around me and I don’t see any rock’n’roll at the moment. Instead it’s all choreography and stylists and wigs and stuff. It’s like they’re afraid to let the music breathe. No one has their own identity like the Ronettes did back in the day. We had the skirts with the slits up the side, sort of tough, sort of Spanish Harlem cool, but sweet too. We didn’t have no dancers, we didn’t have no goddamn wigs.
mother night bathroom
My honeymoon night was spent on the floor in the bathroom with my mother.
stars real rocks
Kill Rock Stars allowed me to put out a real genuine rock 'n' roll record.
I never tried to kill myself or anything.
song years radio
I love the fact that 35 years later, I still hear my songs on the radio.
want stage
I just want to get on stage and sing and be happy.
years groups shame
Most of the groups I worked with 30 years ago are either dead or dead broke. And it's a shame.
girl smart trying
It doesn't pay to try, all the smart girls know why.
song crazy madness
I love my songs, let's not get crazy here.
sweet home sides
We had the skirts with the slits up the side, sort of tough, sort of Spanish Harlem cool, but sweet too.
