Third, there were self-contained female bands [[they played their own instruments) in the 60s. There were bands that were led by females in the 70s, like Heart and A Taste Of Honey.
Remember that they were talking about the 80s. What pissed me off is that no one ever discussed Black female bands like Klymaxx. Oh well, what are ya gonna do? It's a mass media that is always viewed from the White male, and rock perspective.
