Mormons, women are beautiful, family comes first, 'more to life' than music, little girls pegged up as 'groupies' because they like how another kid drums. <br /><br />All the worst stereotypes ponderously written in one place. I remember Vixen and the energy and enthusiasm was nothing like you describe here. Perhaps you had to live it.

So, I had my 6 month cleaning last week by this stunningly beautiful Hygenist who has been taking care of me for the past few years now. Not knowing who she was at the time, we started talking and she mentioned having worked in Europe. When I asked what kind of work she did in Europe she told me she was in a band. When I asked what band she was in, she said Vixen. I said, Vixen , you mean, "I've been living on the edge of a broken heart" Vixen....Yes, she replied , I sing that song, thats me... At this point I was about ready to fall on the floor. I've been getting my teeth cleaned by a Rock Star and did't even know it. I'm sitting next to a celebrity and had no clue. Back in the eighties I was a Hard Rock / Heavy Metal fan and stiil am today. I purchased Vixen music 25 years ago and who would of thought. Anyhow, I admire her intellegence and can see that she had the fore thought to continue her education as well as raise a family without relying on the ups and downs of the Music industry. Impressive! I hope she dont quit her day job becuase she cleans teeth as well as she sings. Awsome! Chicks Rock!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120931133864631738.post-21007815173984188512011-08-06T15:14:15.037-07:002011-08-06T15:14:15.037-07:00We just saw Janet performing at the Scrap Metal sh...We just saw Janet performing at the Scrap Metal show last night. Her voice is still amazing and she is still beautiful. Yes, maybe even more beautiful with age. I was amazed when she sang a Led Zepplin song. Wow!!! Still talented! I would by her solo album and I can't wait to see her again at Scrap Metal!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120931133864631738.post-88244354548192653022011-07-12T06:55:38.460-07:002011-07-12T06:55:38.460-07:00Great article!

Although I knew Janet was working in the area these days, it was nice to learn a little more about her background. It's nice to know that the industry didn't swallow her up like so many other artists. Sometimes I wish I had pursued a career in music like I wanted to back in the day, or got into music production during college. It's been something I've wanted to get back into (on the engineering side at least), and now I feel inspired to give it a try. Janet's proof that it's possible to have a family AND still pursue a love for music. Thank you Kristen for the article and the push I needed to get me going!Mike DeCesarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01101239748257501826noreply@blogger.com
