    She's written big pop hits, and I can't blame her for going where the money has been for the last ten or fifteen years, but she used to genuinely rock. I liked her songwriting better in those days. 4 Non Blondes was a good band from the days before pop and commercial hip-hop took over with young listeners. I love rock, metal, and some hardcore hip-hop, but pop radio stuff, not so much.

    I want to dedicate this to my good friend Jay Bird who died suddenly 9 years ago. I knew him since the mid 70's. Besides being my friend he also worked for me. When this song would come on the radio he would sing this at the top of his lungs. Needless to say it drove everyone crazy. When he first past and I would hear this I would have to change the station or start bawling like a baby. Now when I hear this I always make sure I call his sisters and make sure they are doing okay. Just like me this song reminds them of how obnoxiously funny he was when he would sing songs like this. Miss you brother...

    I'm going to recommend an almost unknown song. Linda Perry helped compose, produce and play several instruments on the song. The first time I heard it was when I was a premastering technician for a CD/DVD facility. The chief sound tester was stationed in the masters vault with me. He played a song and I knew that it wasn't Linda Perry singing, but I also couldn't shake the Linda Perry feel. When I got off work, I had to look uo the song information. Yep, there was Linda Perry's name. It is called "Copper Red" by Sierra Swan. (Daughter of Billie Swan) Linda also cowrote songs and produced Pink's monster hit 2001 album "Missundaztood."

She’s produced #1 hits for Christina Aguilera, Pink, Gwen Stefani, and Katie Perry. She’s still doing it to this day but has long since quit touring in a band.

    I remember when, at 25, I finally moved out of a small town into the city. I definitely got that little fish in a big sea feeling. I felt small, unsure, but at the same time I felt free -- for the first time in my life, and hungry to make something of myself. I had heard this song before but I don't think that I ever really understood it until then. It was my anthem, always playing somewhere in the back of my head during that first summer. I was renting a room near college and it was also a short walk to a large park overlooking a river. I would go there late at night to smoke grass, humming this tune along the way, thinking about 10 years of wasted time and wasted love, and I would shout over the bluff into the river "What's going on?" There was no answer. Somehow, the silence in the night was better than words.

    I am shocked that this song only got to number 52 all the Billboard chart as here in the UK, it got to number 2 in June 1993. Sadly it was only a one hit wonder if other people have commented, Linda Perry has written so many brilliant hits songs over the last 25 years that thankfully we have those and hopefully many more to come. 🙂

"Hungry for Stink" is my favorite, but "Bricks Are Heavy" is the disc that was in my player on days when I'd had enough of an employer or particular project. If I came in with that pounding, you knew there was going to be trouble and either lay me off or fire me, but I was gone. They have a lot of names for what they do musically, but I like "PMS Rock". First song of theirs I heard was "One More Thing"...There was no turning back.

Her contributions are enormous and there's hardly a main act that she has not contributed her musical talent to.

    Now that we're starting that Linda Perry train, can I get a little love for Johnette Napolitano to go with? She's another *_criminally_* underrated 90's voice, especially her stuff with Concrete Blonde (The song "Joey" is their most famous track, but it is nothing like the rest of their [imho, much better] songs from the "Bloodletting" album), Pretty & Twisted, or even her 2000s solo stuff. Both I.R.S. Records and Warner kinda crapped the bed by pushing all of her projects _least_ interesting stuff... I'd start with either "Bloodletting" or "The Sky Is A Poisonous Garden" off of Bloodletting.

The song is so integral to the primary 8 characters of the series, the sensates (Kala, Wolfgang, Capheas, Nomi, Lito, Will, Sun, and Riley) all sing along to it a couple of times. The show was created by the Wachowskis (The Matrix Trilogy) and J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5), and lasted for all of two seasons...but they were AMAZING! This song just makes me want to watch the show yet again!!!

    The Bass Guitarist Christa Hillhouse was a really close friend of mine in San Francisco in the 90's. I met her RIGHT after they won their big Grammy while she was on her first tour. She wasn't on the road the whole time. She'd play a bunch of shows and then come home for a week or so and then back on the road. She helped to save my life, no exaggeration. Like I might not be alive to type this if she hadn't befriended me when and how she did. They were very very popular in SF's small club scene before they got famous. When they did blow up, Christa was going through some heavy stuff (how I met her) and she went on tour despite having to overcome some insane obstacles. (I'm being vague on purpose) No they never performed at the painted ladies. That's a residential neighborhood with a quiet park. No concerts. However the last house in the row, with the amazing butterfly wrought iron gate, was (is?) Alice Walker's house.
