| 520 | 0 | |a "Queens Of Noise is a cautionary tale of what can happen to girls on the cusp of womanhood who dare to put themselves in exciting but dangerous positions. It's a testimonial to the inspiration and insecurity of the trailblazer. It's a period piece about the music in the 1970s, the lingering machinations of the old-fashioned Hollywood star system, the decadence and decay of the Sunset Strip. The Runaways' glam rock inspired both the dawn of punk and the reign of hair metal; the band is simultaneously a link between the New York Dolls and X, and Led Zepelin and Motley Crue. Queens is a fable of individuals trying to make sense of a country of changing norms, of girls raised to believe they could do what boys do, who then crashed into the wall of sexual harassment and discrimination. It's a parable of prodigal daughters leaving broken homes as well as happy homes to carve out new ways of being, of playing, of creating. And it's a story of how chemicals can distort individuals' ability to cope and lead to crime, violence, disease, and death . . . ."--Back cover. | |
