Then the icon would find another band to create dysfunction in, and she would go down in rock history as the woman who has broken up the most bands.

see now THIS is where a more legitimate claim of misogyny could be made.... Tom's constantly stated reason, ONLY reason for not having Stevie in the Heartbreakers was, and i quote, "There are NO GIRLS in the Heartbreakers, Stevie"

I have no idea if LB was legit asked or not. But he had the requisite equipment for consideration anyway.

Where are all those people screaming misogyny, and why aren't they pointing the finger at Tom and the rest of the Heartbreakers??
