I started reading Michael Louise Calvillo’s I Will Rise earlier today – I’ve not had a chance to get more than 20 pages in, though, for various reasons (damn it!).

But there it was on the bottom of the third page:

I literally jumped out of my chair and yelled, “Fuck yeah!” :banana:

…Tight pants and lipstick
She’s riding on razor’s edge
She holds her own against the boys
Yea, cuts through the crowd just like a wedge
Ohh, can you feel the static
So many contacts being made
…

[from Heavy Metal, by Sammy Hagar]
