MP3: Liz Phair – Fuck and Run

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 15 years since the release of Phair’s classic “Exile In Guyville“. Guyville was inspired by The Stones’ album “Exile On Main Street”. She opened the door for female artists to express their inner bad girl.

Phair was quoted on NPR as saying: “I feel like I had been listening to records for 10 years where guys talked explicitly about sex,” she says. “Women were sort of shunted to the area of emotion. But I’ve always been really pissed off, frankly, [about] that whole myth that women aren’t interested in sex. If you had 30,000 years of really bad consequences for being interested in sex, you might hide it, too.”

“I’ll just get really honest with you right now,” she says. “I was pretty good in bed at that point from the point of view of what the guys wanted, but pretty bad in terms of my own enjoyment. And yes, that made me angry. But it was my own fault in some sense.”

Rock on Liz.
