Vegan With A Vengeance Is

The Thing That Sometimes Gets Lost Is People Look At The Harder Edge Of Me ... The Leather Jacket And The Tough Rock 'n' Roll Attitude... And Get The Wrong Impression That I'm Mean. That's Really Something I Don't Want People To Think Because I Don't Think That's The Case.

I Remember Thinking That Janis Joplin Sang Like Mae West Talked. When I First Heard The Primal Scream In 'piece Of My Heart,' I Was Hooked. 'cheap Thrills,' Janis 'live' With Big Brother And The Holding Company, Was One Of My All Time Faves. During The 'whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa's' In 'combination Of Two,' I Couldn't Help But Go To The Mirror And Pretend I Was A Wild Woman Like Janis, In A Rock Band.

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.

Before I Settled On Music, I Wanted To Be An Archaeologist, An Astronaut, All Sorts Of Really Diverse Things.

Partly, I Like A Bad Reputation. But I Also Want A Reputation Of Being A Good Person.
