Customer Reviews

From the voice of the sacred and the profane!!

When I was a young and impressionable teen growing up in Canada, ROUGH TRADE's music and lyrics were my religion and empowerment.Now the voice of that group who's recently gone solo and had her early works released on CD is telling her story of her life in fascinating detail. I've always wanted to know what she's been up to, and where she really came from, and here you'll find it all. Her story is also a fascinating trip through the fun decades of the 70's, and 80's with many colourful people of the time, and her heartbreaking relationship with the divine Dusty Springfield. Even if you never heard of Rough Trade (you have my pity), this is one biography that'll continue to inspire whether or not you are sexually confused, or an outsider in the generations to come.
