Women in Rock Part 1: Debbie Harry, Linda Perry, Barb Morrison

http://womeninrock.littlefishmusic.com/

Having toured with so many successful women -- Courtney Love, Deborah Harry, Brody Dalle, Juliette Lewis -- I've been thinking that there seems to be a severe lack of acknowledgement and support for the creative women of our time.

In the 200 shows we played in the year and a half before being signed to a record label, I don't recall once supporting or playing with any other band fronted by a woman. I wonder where the future is for women when the rock 'n' roll world is predominately male orientated.

So I'd like to introduce you to some incredibly creative and talented woman who survive, create and contribute to the world of rock n roll.

My aim is to put up some interviews, some works, some writings by all the women I have met and will meet who I admire. From singers to producers to writers... and inspire

I gotta say it again-Linda Perry=LEGEND!!! She really is the entire package-She has talent in bucket loads, and she is an amazing person too, with time for everyone!!! She's not up her own arse, her feet are planted firmly on the ground, and she is one of my hero's! God bless Linda Perry!!!

and for the record i don't intend my comments as any sort of slander; it just seems clear to me that occasionally an artist's success is dependent on self-indulgence.

i find it a pointless question to ask a woman if she finds that it's harder, or different somehow, to be female in whatever business she finds herself in. the most obvious reason is because as a woman she has never lived the experience as a man, so how could she possibly compare the two?

and although linda basically says there's potentially "no difference"  - which is simply culturally inaccurate, truth is she does not have the sort of personality that easily relates to another's experience.
