For this week’s A Nice Pair (book and music pairings), we recommend the book Nobody Ever Asked Me About the Girls: Women, Music & Fame by celebrated music journalist Lisa Robinson.
Based on over forty interviews with famous women musicians, this book focuses on how these women “deal with image, abuse, love, motherhood, family, sex, drugs, business, and age” and is also intertwined with the author’s own experiences as a pioneering female music writer.
We recommend pairing the book with No Doubt’s Tragic Kingdom and playing Just a Girl extra loud.
