And I remember thinking, why not?

So I was doing this show and I used to get this email from this one woman who's always complaining.

That's what I thought.

What she was really doing was addressing the fact that all we ever played were male artists.

And I would write her back emails saying, you don't understand this.

I can only play what I have.

And in the rock space, women, I don't get them.

I don't get these artists.

I was right about the reality, but she was right to address.

So anyway, just we would go back and forth for a while.

I didn't think that much of it, except obviously it stuck in the back of my head.

And then one day I was at some cool kids indie show at a venue in Toronto.

And I saw all the same kind of usual indie people and publicists and writers from the weekly papers.

And then I went to another show two days later and I saw the same group.

And I had this moment and I thought of her.

And I thought...

It's true what I said.

I'm not getting all these new women in rock and roll.

I'm not getting it.

Because we're mostly, it's all label stuff.
