“The 1980s were such a shock for me. I was really young, obviously, and The Slits were just mutilated. We were totally sabotaged to such a point that we were put out in exile. So that was the best way for me to spend the '80s: in the jungle, naked. Maybe there are more options now, and there's more girl groups. The only thing good that came out of the '80s was breakdancing.” WayYoungGirlGroupsBest WayNakedShock80sExileJungleSlitsGirl GroupsBreakdancing Author:Ari Up

“I feel like a lot of people talk about in rom-coms, there's the female best friend. There's all those archetypes in rom-coms. But even among a movie about man-children hanging out, there is always the one who's often the fat one, often the one with the beard, who is like the man-childest of them all.

I didn't pay much attention to the song after I'd recorded it. I didn't really perform it at all the last 20 years.

“There's no reason - not yet, anyway - to believe [Bob] Dylan himself endorses such an attitude; or that he would think of himself as a more profound and worthy recipient than, for instance, any of the brilliant Motown or girl-group lyricists who are more likely to be awarded a Nobel prize for chemistry than for literature. Whether there is more truth and humanity in his best lyrics than in Abba's, or less, is unquantifiable, and it would be meretricious to attempt such a calculation in contesting an argument he has been dragged into.” ThinkingBelieveHas BeensReasonWould BeHumanityGirlLiteratureAttitudeGroupsArgumentProfoundWorthyBrilliantInstanceNo ReasonPrizeChemistryBobDylanCalculationsNobelNobel PrizeMotownAbbaLyricistsGirl Groups Author:David Bennun
