She Was the Lilith Fair Target Audience Before It Existed

Kim's taste trended towards the women of rock.

She was an early adopter of artists who "got big." As many women of rock did during the mid to late nineties. Mostly late nineties.

An early Alanis fan. An early McLachlan fan.

Some better than others. Some forgettable.

Some better. Frente! Suzanne Vega.

Suzanne Vega. Not exactly mid to late nineties. Tom's Diner. Luka.

Kim would play 99.9 F. The title track stood out. Continues to stand out.

Inaugural Lilith Fair. Extra ticket. Camden.

On the grass. A long day. Festivals always are. Too long.

Kim. Christie. Laura. Maybe. Kim. Maybe. Bill was there. Co-worker.

Highlights. Juliana Hatfield. Susanna Hoffs. Eternal Flame. Tracy Chapman. The Cardigans.

Other highlights. Jean shorts. Tank tops. Boots.

Lessons of Lilith Fair. Not empowerment. But that pornography had. Has. Lesbianism all wrong.

Suzanne Vega - 99.9 F
. AKA bargain bin.
