PASSION IS NO ORDINARY WORD

In a business where women singers are a dime a dozen these days (and trite women singers the norm), Lydia Lunch can be proud of being one of the few women singers in rock who consistently breaks the mold of complacency surrounding much of today's music and redefines the role of what a contemporary women in rock 'n' roll should be today, simply by doing what she wants, when she wants, and how she wants.

PASSION IS NO ORDINARY WORD

LYDIA LUNCH 13.13 (Ruby)

Jeffrey Morgan

In a business where women singers are a dime a dozen these days (and trite women singers the norm), Lydia Lunch can be proud of being one of the few women singers in rock who consistently breaks the mold of complacency surrounding much of today's music and redefines the role of what a contemporary women in rock 'n' roll should be today, simply by doing what she wants, when she wants, and how she wants.

That she isn't cleaning up in any money or popularity sweepstakes (yet) is by no means indicative of any failure on her part. Let us not forget that, first and foremost, rock 'n' roll has always been about getting the music out of the mind of the creator and into the mind of the listener.

That Lydia continues to do just that, by recording and releasing albums on a steady basis, is not commentary on how low the industry's standards have declined.
