Sure, but that doesn’t mean that people can’t be making meaningful art anyway…
I can see that. It could be the image she’s hoping to cultivate, too.
I agree, but again, I doubt we’re the audience she’s interested in or that connect with her music.

Perhaps. And to be honest, there’s a little bit of resentment there on my part because I’d love to be a live and recorded artist and make enough money to live off of, which would mean self-publishing, promoted, and released. And I’d like folks to see you don’t have to be under 40 to do it.
Well, at least the band and I are still talking to each other, lol…

I think, for me, that’s where punk rock comes into play. Making music a business can have other consequences, which are not so nice… and it can take some of the joy out of making music, I think. Plenty of punk bands play for the love of it, and not for making a living. Music is such a core part of human existence, that we’ll do it, even if we can’t make it our careers.

Not superior to the original, but this is such a difficult song to get right that it’s astonishing to see anyone even come close:
Backing musicians on point, too. I appreciate how much they all seem to be enjoying their mutual performance.
They still got it.

Way back when I was in school one of the girls was complaining to another about how there were no good all girl bands. I said “Sure there are! There’s Barenaked Ladies, and of course Violent Femmes.”

It was just funny at the time. Caught 'em totally off guard and they had no idea whether I was being serious or not. (That was pre-Google time when you heard music on the radio but didn’t know what band it was, and heard band names but didn’t know what their music was.)
