Hello dear Ari Up lovers!

I have been thinking about ari up for days. I am sooooooo VeRy sad I never
got to see the slits. I actually started crying while driving today thinking
about her transitioning. I had a radio show for 2 years during the 00’s & I
played the slit all the time!!!! The slits we a HUGE influence to me. Also I
started what was to be the first riot grrrl/ queercore band that came out of
Atlanta and really the american south during the 90’s ( called ‘pagan
holiday’) and the slits were a huge inspiration because it was such a
fabulous early example of wimin working together for revolution thru punk
rock in a male dominated arena…. Even Before the riot grrrl 90’s!  Ari Up
will forever live in my heart!!!



What an amazing womyn. <333




love & anarchy,

xxxx
