And I Knew Then, As I Know

My Generation Fought Very Hard For Feminism, And We Fought Very Hard To Not Be Labeled As You Had To Have A Husband Or You Had To Be In A Relationship, Or You Were Somehow Not A Cool Chick.

And The Moon Never Beams Without Bringing Me Dreams And The Sun Never Shines But I See The Bright Eyes I Lie Down By The Side Of My Darling My Life, My Life.

I Remember Prince Gave Me A Cassette Of Purple Rain. It Was Like 20 Minutes Long And He Asked Me To Write Something On It. I Tried For A Month And Then He Came To L.a. I Went To See Him And Said, "i Can't Do It. It's Too Perfect. It's Like 'stairway To Heaven.'" He Said Ok And Then I Go, "i Can Keep The Cassette, Right?" He Said, "of Course And Thank You For Trying."

I Preferred Not To Be Laden Down With A Big Instrument. If You're Behind A Guitar, You Get Used To Being Behind A Guitar, And You Don't Really Perform Because You Can't. I Wanted To Be Able To Just Hold On To The Mike And Sing.

I've Seen Every One, From Motley Crue To John Denver, With Tears Running Down My Face. I Had No Idea Everyone Had Such A Hard Time.
