And I hung up, and oddly that week, because it had gone around that Billy from the Pumpkins had recommended me to join Hole, everybody knew Hole, everybody...

My boyfriend band member, Steve, my father, both said to me, you should probably do that.

So I had my community telling me, then I had this like incredible wild woman call me.

I was like, fine, I'll get on the plane to meet her.

And I just found last week the photo my mother took of me getting on the plane with a little overnight case in my base and, like, a ticket to Seattle.

And in my memoir, it's called The One-Way Ticket to Seattle.

And I just, like, I get there and no turning back.

Like, she just sucked me in.

And I did it.

for women when i saw her patty and francis living in this giant house with security and security tape from the suicide weird like fans vigil but it's it's worth pointing out that now you're at the house where where he killed himself it's just right there it's not like she's living somewhere else no she's living in it

It's unbelievable.

I joined for that pocket of women and for the women of the world.

I literally understood that through my strange mentor, Billy, I had a job to do for women.

And that I understood, I'm doing this to get women's stories out there and to put us on a male-dominated landscape.

And it was like a mega calling, like, through the ages of art history.

It wasn't not about, like, even rock music, actually, because your band was the band that I felt as a bass player.

I, on that flight to Seattle, listened to Live Through This on my cassette Walkman.

I hadn't even listened to the record because it was more feminist, like, pop rock than I... Like, I liked fantasy.

So I wasn't even... I respected it, but I wasn't a fan of the band.

I kind of liked In a Weird Way Pretty on the Inside more.
