Description
ROCK CHICKS - THE HOTTEST FEMALE ROCKERS FROM THE 1960'S TO NOW profiles the hottest rock'n'roll women, spanning the 1960s to current times; from Janis Joplin, Suzi Quatro and Chrissie Hynde to Courtney Love and Pink.
With perceptive biographies and in-depth music critiques, author Alison Stieven-Taylor gives an up-close and personal look at the experiences, adventures and musical passions of these extraordinary and talented women whose wild vocals and on-stage antics have made them rock & roll legends.
Through personal heartaches, drug addictions, public humiliations and private nightmares these rock chicks have risen to take the music world by storm often facing great personal adversity; pressure and scrutiny that would have destroyed mere mortals. ¢ Madonna spent years living in squats in New York before going on to sell 250 million records¢ Marianne Faithfull fell in love with heroin forsaking her other love Mick Jagger for the white powder¢ Annie Lennox endured the loss of a child in the glare of the media spotlight ¢ Stevie Nicks battled drug addictions - cocaine and anti-depressants - for twenty years¢ Tina Turner survived the brutal bashings of her husband Ike Turner performing on stage with broken ribs and contusions¢ Alanis Morissette suffered from anorexia and bulimia ¢ PJ Harvey was driven into therapy by the pressures of celebrity And all went on to make some of the most memorable music the world of rock has heard.
