1. Awesome choices, my friend

I just played Patti Smith's "Piss Factory" on my show, and Maria McKee is one of my all-times crushes:toast:

2. Same here on Maria

Even ended up dating a girl back in the mid-80's that could have been her twin. Closest I'll ever get though. I'm 2 months older than Maria and I saw some recent photos of her and she has aged way better than I have.

3. I was HOPING I'd see Johnette's name here...

There just aren't enough Concrete Blonde fans in the world.

4. Don't forget Aimee Mann
