“You sure know a lot about music for a girl”

On the occasion of the launch for her book, B-Sides and Broken Hearts, Caryn Rose writes:

I called [my book launch party] ‘You Sure Know A Lot About Music For A Girl’ because part of the genesis of writing B-sides was that I was tired of books about rock and roll where the women didn’t know anything or were relegated to mixing drinks in the background, and because, even in 2011, WE STILL HEAR THAT KIND OF SHIT.
