Short filmTranscript
00:00We had these four women that were like sticks of dynamite, and the whole thing was like
00:13this feminist explosion on stage.
00:15They were definitely the queens of funk, the sticks had attitude.
00:22It unlocked something for me, and suddenly I was standing there thinking, wow, I want
00:29to do this too.
00:30Rock'n'roll was about men rebelling against their moms, and the Flits used rock'n'roll to
00:40rebel against everything.
00:42They were inventing a new kind of music.
00:46It was completely outside of rock'n'roll, it was completely outside of punk.
00:54It doesn't have any boundaries at all anymore.
00:56They've fallen away to destroy it, rock'n'roll.
01:00We don't care about what you think we ought to be doing, we're going to do it our way.
01:07The whole thing was kind of like a dream come true.
01:11They terrified people, but it wasn't just like angry screaming girls kind of terrifying,
01:16it was a deep psychology.
01:18People could not deal with these powerful women.
01:22Because they were in an intrusion.
01:24Women were supposed to know their place, and their place was to be singing what some regular
01:29guy wanted them to sing, and not determining themselves.
01:36Hidden from history, but it always happens.
01:38It happens all the time.
01:40That scared for me people, but it was a dead man who don't even know me.
01:43?
01:51These ì•” nazism worried about something i hate be ever is.
01:54Do not run away before they lose life to death, likeer.
