Just stumbled upon the 2013 documentary 'The Punk Singer' on cable, about Bikini Kill/Le Tigre/Julie Ruin lead singer/frontwoman Kathleen Hanna.
Though definitely a DIY/make-it-up-as-you-go-along career, I have more respect now for Ms. Hanna, 25 years or so on from her origins. Her story has just more cultural weight and significance (Riot Grrrl, the Cobain connection, zine culture, pre-internet music making, etc.) as the '90s now seem like a cozy, but culturally-rich, nostalgic era.
