Tengo trece años, cuéntame quiénes son Joan Jett y Lita Ford. Luego me cuentas quiénes eran las Girlschool, o quien eran los Plasmatics de Wendy O. Williams, que Suzie Quatro era una vocalista bajista o que Doro Pesch antes de ir en solitario lideró Warlock.

I remember when Wendy O. Williams was chainsawing guitars and smashing TVs and blowing up cars in the Plasmatics. When asked why she did this she said, "they're just things." She had a great point.
