Typical Girls: Women in Punk/Post-Punk/Underground Music (Circa 1975-1980s)

i totally agree with what maria, dan, steve (and pascale!) have said on this subject.   as this list generally consists of quite intelligent people, i think most everyone "gets it"—i.e. we second that EMOTICON! ; )   i like this group's moniker; however, it might be fun and illustrative of what we are all about here, to add "...and boys!" to the group's website (in a smaller font to indicate that it's not part of the group's official name).   imho, this list would not be as intellectually and philosophically well-rounded were it to consist solely of females and i, for one, truly appreciate that aspect.   so.... viva le typical boys!    : )

so who knows any more about the Gof4 spring US tour?!?   ; )

typically,
lydia
