RIP Poly Styrene.

I'm not the sort of person who would normally write a blog post when a famous person dies, even when I'm genuinely sad about it, because I often don't know what to say. But I'm going to do my best to find the words this time, because I owe thanks

I told them to fuck off, or I gave them the V-sign, or I spat on the ground.

This. I used to live in a rough place and sometimes get to the point where guys would gladly beat me up for my smart mouth, except I guess it's below their male dignity to beat up a slip of a girl, I guess. XD Happy times.

Also, I kind of feel now like I felt when I found out that Ari Up had passed away. :C

Oh god, I'd forgotten Ari Up was dead too. And pretty much all the original Ramones have died... god, this makes me feel old. It's so sad.

That is such a kick-ass anecdote. :) Though I am not familiar with Poly Styrene, she looks and sounds so trippy!

[fera_festiva]

She was awesome. Such an inspiration. :)
