TS: Belinda Carlisle's "Mad About You" vs Jane Wiedlin's "Rush Hour"

I think Heaven is my fav but Mad About you is pretty great too. I love her so much.

Rick Nowels went on to work with Nicks.

Rush Hour: the song that made me embrace pop gaiety.

I started following JW on Twitter and so far, this is an interesting interview where she talks about punk and punks and being a woman

And of course, that’s the only way it could be if you’re all women.

Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Thank you.

Is that the kind of obstacle you faced being an all female band?

Yeah. Not so much from within the punk movement; we got fairly good support really early on because it was such an inclusive movement. But the outside world for sure were like “This is ridiculous.” Like I remember going early on to local radio stations, and the DJs would just be like “What a joke. Girls?” It was crazy sexist. I mean, the things people used to say to us, a lawsuit would be started over today. Another funny thing about being women, there was the boring and obvious rumors that we had somehow slept with someone to get somewhere, which is just so cliché and stupid.

I'd never heard the full Fur album until last night. Am I crazy in thinking this sounds a lot like Madonna in places? The production is a lot like True Blue/Like a Prayer, and that probably plays a big part, but even Jane's voice sounds like her every once in a while.

Just now listening to Jane's Tangled album from 1990. It's vv good! Why have I never listened to it before?

I heard the title track on the Pretty Woman soundtrack.
