The original guitarist, Shauna went to the same high school I did even though she was gone by the the time I got there by a year or two. I wound up jamming with her in someone's garage and she was playing trumpet with me on drums. I met Wanda through a mutual friend and partied with her one night. Shauna and Wanda, the first drummer, were the two coolest members of the group and were into metal and hard rock. What resulted on their debut album was definitely altered almost beyond recognition from the demos I first heard.

[@ta2jac1]

Wanda was a class act. They bought her new kit and kicked her and another gal out: "Wrong Image"! This is why they're called "4 Non-Dykes" in the Bay Area.

That story is ridiculous -- a pure made-up paranoia trip on the part of narcissistic bandmembers.

Probably doomed to self-destruction because of that. Like many rock bands, egos and narcissism usually undermine success. 4 Non-blondes were no different.

It "was different than it is now" because nobody cared if a person was gay or not. Everyone knew they were gay but nobody cared. Sexuality doesn't define a person, it's not a persons entire identity, or make the person less talented. People knew this in the '80s and '90s, but the powers that be want you to think it was a major issue. If you grew up in the '80s (during the AIDS epidemic) you'd know what I'm talking about.

Being a 'Rock Star' is such a precarious position - often the lesser talented artists are able to capture the attention and fandom of listeners.

Linda Perry's voice and song writing talents are amazing! Some bands weren't meant to stay together - there were so many bands in the early 90's that just disappeared after a few hit songs. It was like a testing ground for music and what the A&R "guys" thought people wanted to hear. Honestly, it was a pretty cool time to listen to music.

@@The_child-catcher hahaha that’s messed up but funny as hell! But yeah, pretty much every lesbian couple I’ve ever known never stayed together. BTW they “have a baby together”, however that works.. but Sarah Gilbert actually had the baby (boy) and Linda Perry is like his legal guardian or something. I wonder now that they’re “separating” how that’s gonna work out.

Besutiful vocals..beautiful song by beautiful mucian...I still listen to this...4 no blondes whats up..boots caps gogs..and beautiful strumming guitars

She's written so many hit songs for other artists, that I absolutely hate. With that said, she's doing what she loves to do.

[@mahatmagandhi7588]

WHICH HIT SONGS DID SHE WRITE?

[@MichaelKeelphotography]

@@mahatmagandhi7588 too many to write. You can read a list below. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Perry

[@mahatmagandhi7588]

@@MichaelKeelphotography Michael you could have mentioned a few. I was not asking for a whole list. I was trying to define "many."

[@MichaelKeelphotography]

@@mahatmagandhi7588 so I gave you the whole list to look at. Many.

[@mahatmagandhi7588]

@@MichaelKeelphotography ok define "hits" My point is that not many of them were "hits." She had 3 songs that were in the top 10 at different times. "Beautiful, Get the Party Started, and "keeps getting better." The song "beautiful" reached #2, the others reached 4 and 7 respectively.She did write a lot of songs for others and she is a decent song writer. However, I would not say there were "...so many hits..." Just sayin.

Perry was born next door to Bart Simpson

Linda started doing a lot of behind the sound board work in studios as well.

I’ve always hated when people get mad at bands for getting popular. The same thing happened to 311 at first.

[@marcussanchez4278]

Imagine being so selfish that you get mad because the band you like wants straight people to buy to buy their record. So much tolerance !

Saw them in Pensacola, fl. Never have I seen such an angry group of people. They denigrated everyone and everything. Especially men, singer told us to leave if we didn't like it...so we did.

Linda Perry Rocks. I have " In Flight and After Hours" I went to see her live in Houston after she left 4-Non-Blondes. I can't remember much of either of the venues, but neither were really up to standards for a performer such as Ms.Perry. I was singing her songs as she was on stage and she came over the monitors and we sang together for a little while. If I had any talent she may have put the mike closer to me .lol. Got a couple of words after the last set. Then the next time she was in town she was hanging out after and she was signing stuff for folks ect. There was a couple of dudes ( mouthy, maybe too many shots ) she had strong boundaries with, so I thought I wouldn't get to talk with her and she said something to the effect of " Hey man come hear sit by me". I actually felt kinda cool.
