really good. Hirshey still rocks. The first half of the book is the best half, but the book as a whole is fine stuff.

Any fan of grrl rock will be happy to know that Gerri Hirshey has nailed it on the head here.... Truly a devotee of chick music, she delivers the real "Behind the Music" look at Chrissie Hynde, Marianne Faithfull, Rickie Lee Jones, and more.Goes deep into the blues, soul, and gospel roots of today's music. Miss Hirshey knows her stuff -- this book is really cool.
Girls CAN and DO rock

This is an admittedly subjective history -- a chronicle of Hirshey's experiences covering everyone from the Supremes to Marianne Faithful for Rolling Stone. Filled with cool stories, neat lil tidbits, and priceless quotes from the divas we have all come to love.Arranged by decade, it is a good overview of women's music. Places female recording artists in context of political & social events, trends in the biz, and everything else. A great read.
