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 folk, 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.
00:34Rock and roll was about men rebelling against their moms, and the flicks used rock and roll
00:40to rebel against everything.
00:42They were inventing a new kind of music.
00:46It was completely outside of rock and roll.
00:48It was completely outside of punk.
00:53It doesn't have any boundaries at all anymore.
00:57They found a way to destroy it.
00:59Rock and roll.
01:01We don't care about what you think we ought to be doing.
01:04We're going to do it our way.
01:07The whole thing was kind of like a dream come true.
01:12They terrified people, but it wasn't just like angry, screaming girls kind of terrifying.
01:17It was a deep psychology.
01:19People could not deal with these powerful women.
01:21Because 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.
01:39It happens all the time.
01:40It happens all the time.
01:40It happens all the time.
01:42We're not going to line with them, and maybe everybody else's mind could be doing more.
01:49Everybody can't change anything.
01:52They had fun.
01:53We don't believe that we were on pięćetra site.
01:54They wereъz� o fatality of the alive nature.
