GoGirl.net : First Song

We quietly launched GoGirl Radio on October 10, 2008 with a not so quiet tune by Amy Ray called "Lucystoners," exposing the music industry as sexist and guilty of trickling women into the machine at its whim. Current radio airplay charts are comprised of less than 20% female recording artists. The Radio & Records Triple A Chart (Adult Album Alternative) has on average a half a dozen female artists charting in their Top 30. It's a little more hopeful at Adult Contemporary and CHR (Contemporary Hit Radio), but the bottom really falls out on the Alternative and Rock charts, with practically no women currently charting... According to a recent Gender Analysis Summary released by the Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio Group, women manage only 17% of the nearly 5,000 radio stations owned by groups holding 12 or more stations in the U.S. The average group has 40 stations and 11 General Managers, only 2 of whom are women. Not only do we say "No" to that stupid, secret, whiteboy handshake, we say "We don't need you!" Come on girls, let's go, right now!

	Lucystoners We were talking ticket slump, trying to put our finger on it. Quantify the undoing... of each little step-its just a lack of press. The refrigerator down at the boys club with its little magnets of poetry, finding one hundred different ways to say blow me... Well...Janny Wenner Janny Wenner-Rolling Stone's most fearless leader- gave the boys what they deserve, but with the girls he lost his nerve. In every post punk bar there's a dressing room wall where the rockboy band will make its mark- one hundred different pictures of private parts and some girl going down. And all the faggot bashing poetry but the boys are just saying, "love me please." In every hate filled phrase they just give it away... ah boys, you give youselves away... You know...Janny Wenner Janny Wenner-Rolling Stone's most fearless leader- gave the boys what they deserve, but with the girls he lost his nerve. Testing 1,2,3 in the marketplace-its just a demographic based disgrace, and a stupid, secret, whiteboy handshake that we'll never be part of. So when its DJ Blow and the morning show, I'll give you one hundred reasons to just say no... Come on girls, lets go, right now... Cause Lucy Stoners don't need boners, ain't no man could ever own her, with the boys she had the nerve to give the girls what they deserve. c.2000 Amy Ray

Lucystoners

We were talking ticket slump, trying to put our finger on it.
Quantify the undoing...
of each little step-its just a lack of press.
The refrigerator down at the boys club
with its little magnets of poetry,
finding one hundred different ways to say blow me...

Well...Janny Wenner Janny Wenner-Rolling Stone's most fearless leader-
gave the boys what they deserve, but with the girls he lost his nerve.

In every post punk bar there's a dressing room wall
where the rockboy band will make its mark-
one hundred different pictures of private parts and some girl going down.
And all the faggot bashing poetry but the boys are just saying,
"love me please."
In every hate filled phrase they just give it away...
ah boys, you give youselves away...

You know...Janny Wenner Janny Wenner-Rolling Stone's most fearless leader-
gave the boys what they deserve, but with the girls he lost his nerve.

Testing 1,2,3 in the marketplace-its just a demographic based disgrace,
and a stupid, secret, whiteboy handshake that we'll never be part of.
So when its DJ Blow and the morning show,
I'll give you one hundred reasons to just say no...
Come on girls, lets go, right now...

Cause Lucy Stoners don't need boners, ain't no man could ever own her,
with the boys she had the nerve to give the girls what they deserve.
