Aimee Mann, formerly lead singer, bassist and sometimes rhythm guitarist from the new wave band Til' Tuesday.

She's a brilliant lyricist and musician.

I had no use for New Wave in the early 80s...I was a SNOB, for which I repent but still the pickins were scarce.

Til Tuesday was a punk band pretending to be New Wave band...

...but Aimee was always the genius.

A little earlier in their history. She's going in a kinda folk direction...the rest of the band kicks a$$, BTW.

Notice the country twang with the guitarist...single coil...coulda been a Tele...sounds great on backup vocals too...He's a Brit born in Boston...

But check out the lyrics! Pathos, romance, regret, disillusion overlayed by innocence.

Earlier still...Aimee's genius!

She's good. Never was a fan until I got older and more discerning.

She can write some romantic lyrics...and she's tall!
