Then it wouldn’t have taken me so long to start listening to Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie, Grace Slick, Kim Deal, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Laurie Anderson, Rickie Lee Jones, Patti Smith, The Runaways, The Breeders, Hole, Kim Gordon and the countless others that I either don’t have the space to list, or have yet to discover.

Katie O’Brien is a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. She can be reached at [email protected]. Midnight Radio runs alternate Mondays this semester.

Listing Kim Deal AND the Breeders separately seems a bit redundant. The Breeders was Kim.
