I met them on Castro St back in the 90s, Linda and I were shopping for hats, I asked the name of her band. She said, 4 Non Blondes (I laughed and said Yah, I can understand that). She invited me to come see her at Josies. I had to works so I declined. Dear Mr President is another great composition.

Indoor roller skating was actually at it's peak in the late 70s/early 80s. Certain songs were known as "roller skating songs" because they would always be played, usually disco or even metal songs, but the biggest roller skating song of them all was actually Stairway To Heaven, which was invariably the last song of the night. Then came inline skates which made outdoor skating more practical, not to mention the disco floors being taken over by break dancing which not as many could participate in, and Indoor roller skating went into decline.

@daisypooch4034 Месяц назад

This was a powerful group! So sad that they did not get more airplay! The whole album Bigger Better Faster was huge musically! Solid all the way through. You should try Spaceman, or Dear Mr. President!! 2 more songs off the same album. Actually, just pick ANY & ALL the songs off the Bigger Better Faster lp!!

Linda Perry. Had a lot of pent-up destructive anger. She shut herself off from the world for a while until Pink wanting to start a career was calling her and leaving long messages. Pink stayed with her for a while and that is when ... Get The Party Started ...was written and the beginning of Linda's 2nd life in the industry. She premiered a song Called ...Letter to God ...on "The Talk " with Sara Gilbert... She had them in tears.

I can't believe you started talking about roller blades. The one and only reason that I know and love this song is because I grew up in small town Kansas. We had 2 things to do on the weekend if you were under 18. We had a movie theater and we had a roller skating rink and the roller skating rink was open on Friday nights. I had my birthday party there and got my first pair of roller blades. I Got into and lost my first fight there, That's where I first kissed a girl and a few weeks later where I first made out with a girl. And this song more than any other that I have found Reminds me of that skating rink because they played it every time it was open. They stayed open until 1 AM on New Year's Every year. My brother knew the owner and 1 year after we left on New Year's we were driving home and my brother dropped the bomb that that was the last time the skating rink was going to be open. I had no warning whatsoever. I cried. And I am not ashamed to say it. I loved that place.

I love that she was kinda a weirdo... and it reflected in her vocal presence. It's a shame she preferred to be behind the scenes instead of in front of the camera, cause I think the pop scene could've used someone like her in the spotlight. But I respect her choosing to stick to writing, because that's what she was passionate about. Still, I wonder if the pop scene would look any different today if she stayed in front of the camera, instead of giving her creations to others who were more acceptably mainstream.
