35. AIMEE MANN and JOAN JETT

Aimee Mann in the band known as "Til Tuesday" '82 -89 then on her own. Amazing talent, advocate for mental health awareness, and generous mentor to others.

Now does music with Jonathan Coulter.

Joan Jett. Amazing dynamo, always doing all sorts of groundbreaking projects, engaged in social justice work, and always mentoring.

I've seen them both in concert over 12 times each. I have met and talked with Joan, who is a very grounded person, who encourages others to follow their passions. I was close to meeting Aimee Mann, at a small concert venue, but she was not feeling well, which I certainly understand, but was still disappointing.

Both individuals fought the male dominated and heavily misogynistic recording industry and won.

Even Republicans cannot hold raw human potential down. I believe this is our greatest strength and we all have it.
