God, I Always Just Think

That Was Exactly Why People Didn't Want To Give Us Any Kind Of Life, Because We Were Threatening Their Status Quo, And They Just Didn't Want To Have Room For Girls Playing Rock 'n' Roll. It Bothered Them. First, People Just Tried To Get Around It By Saying, "oh, Wow, Isn't That Cute? Girls Playing Rock 'n' Roll!," And When We Said, "yeah, Right, This Isn't A Phase; It's What We Want To Do With Our Lives," It Became, "oh! You Must Be A Bunch Of Sluts. You Dykes, You Whores." That's What It Became. Then It Became A Name-calling Contest.

Women Play Cellos And Violins In Symphony Orchestras. They're Playing Beethoven And Bach. What Do You Mean They Can't Play Rock And Roll?

Even Though Everybody's Lives Are Different, In General We're All Human Beings, And We Go Through The Same Things: Disappointments, The Pleasures Of Life, Life And Death. That's Always Been A Really Big Part Of The Show To Me, Making Sure The Audience Feels Connected, And That Carries Through To The Album.

So Now 20 Years Later People Want Us To Get Together So They Can Take Shots At All These Old Babes Trying To Get Back Some Youth. I Mean Come On; I've Been There. I Know What The Press Would Do.

We Always Play Clubs. It's Not Something That I Feel Above. Those Are My Favorite Shows Because They're Intimate, They're Tight, Their Sweaty, They're Hot. You're Close To The People. Those Are My Favorites.
