    Nice to hear Lidia speak, I am grateful she came and delivered such excellent gig in my home country. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    TO each His own, Mister Man. Your 'view' is as valid as mine or anyone elses, as is the Right to agree or disagree.
    YeS...I WAS There, too (also). "has-beens"?...."grasping at current relevance"?!... I Think NOT! ... Lydia (as well as even Byron) and of course some others (Lydon comes to mind) are F**KIN' LEGENDS of the Music World. Also these are some VERY intelligent & Worldly individuals- Pretty relevant to me.
    "punk" was world altering..socially..politically..and musically. I cannot Imagine what my life might have become without my Life Long involvement in "punk"... "so what"?...
    NOTE- The above is MY opinion only, and is not better or worse than Mr. Man's. (just my equalizer statement). Thank You...and... (I can't help myself) L.A.M.F. !!

    COOL! But Lunch could also add in the Wakefield Press and NYBR catalogues for even more protest Euro lit.

    Tanya Pearson states that she had to find out about Lydia Lunch through a sonic youth song , meaning that Lydia didn't have enough exposure or high profile which is complete and utter bullshit bc Lydia was extremely well known in the "punk" or alternative "underground" scenes. Lydia was a very high profile artist and had quite a lot of promotion , more than most mainstream artists albeit her promotion just happened to be in Flipside and Maximum Rock n Roll. Point being that during the 80s she was heavily promoted in the alternative publications of her heyday.
