I remember a time not all THAT long ago when such an event would have required at least an appearance by Phranc …or even a few years later, by L7 (who will be at The Greek Theater with Adam Ant, next week). And they were pretty much it. So glad times have progressed at leasr the small bit they have. Keep standing up ladies, you are far stronger than men, but you know that already!
