“The strange thing is, while the crack screwed me up in a lot of ways, it improved me in certain others. I’ve never been good with numbers, but when I was on crack I could do math really, really well. I became a fucking whiz at calculus.”
Courtney Love

Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart.
“It was darn nigh impossible for women in rock in the ’70s. There wasn’t a mold if you were a woman and you were in the entertainment in the ’70s. You were probably a disco diva or a folk singer, or simply ornamental. Radio would play only one woman per hour.”

“Divine. That’s my name. It’s the name John [Waters] gave me. I like it. That’s what everybody calls me now, even my close friends. Not many of them call me Glenn at all anymore, which I don’t mind. They can call me whatever they want. They call me fatso, and they call me asshole, and I don’t care. You always change your name when you’re in the show business. Divine has stuck as my name. Did you ever look it up in the dictionary? I won’t even go into it. It’s unbelievable.”
The Ramones on EUGTV in 1978, on Efrom Allen’s Underground TV show.
