THIS WAS the fourth, maybe fifth time Jean has done "She Shows No Mercy" show (or a show likewise devoted to all women rockers). And not some mewing "meow meow poor little me" tracks either, but stuff that didn't hesitate to occasionally put aa pointy-toed boot in the right place if necessary -- if you get our drift. OUTTA THE WAY, LITTLE MAN!

For 15 years now Radio Rumpus Room has been broadcast Fridays at 9-10:30 p.m. on KFAI Fresh Air Radio, FM 90.3 Minneapolis and 106.7 St. Paul. The show streams live on the Internet; our RealAudio archives will return on April 2, fingers crossed. Just visit the RRR web page anytime to listen to this noise and accompanying yakkin' by Ron and Jean.
