Ronnie Spector lived one hell of a life. She chased her dreams, saw those dreams come true, and fought her way through the hell of Phil Spector. Her voice shines through this memoir; it‘s like a good friend telling you their journey.
This jumped onto my TBR after it was mentioned on #MyFavoriteMurder (a recent listen but an old episode)…so sad that we lost Ronnie in January 2022. My first exposure to The Ronettes was the opening credits of Dirty Dancing, with which 5-year-old me was *obsessed* (though clearly so much nuance of the plot flew right over my head). 💜 Rest easy, Ronnie. 💜
pickSo this just left me wanting more, the size of this book couldn't do justice to all the different girls in music of the 90s but this was a great short overview. It starts on riot grrrl and keeps the talk about feminism going throughout and I bloody loved it. I've dog eared loads of pages for quotes and listening to sleater Kinney at the same time was great. #booksandvinyl #readwomen #womeninmusic
