Look, I have a suggestion. If anyone out there *is* interested in
other diverse, interesting, intelligent female artists, why don't you
join Ecto, where discussion about artists other than Happy Rhodes is 
welcomed and encouraged. (Not to mention male artists, and just about
anything else that strikes the fancy of members, from politics to
literature.)

If you've never heard Happy's music, join Ecto and find out how to
get a sampler tape.

I am *SO* sick of this!!!!

(and no, there's never been an article about Alannah Myles, but there are
kd, Sinead, Michelle, Sarah, Jane, Sundays and like-artist fans on Ecto)
(oh, and, of course, Katefans)
