Remembering Jennifer Finch
Today's episode is dedicated to the memory of a veritable giant in the rock world, Jennifer Precious Finch. Best known as the longtime bassist of the all-female grunge rock band L7, Finch was a pioneer who inspired countless women and girls to pick up instruments and start screaming. Last month, Finch tragically passed away from brain cancer at just 59 years old. My good friend Maria Lina joins me to discuss what made Jennifer such a true original, and what so many women and girls can learn about artistry and authenticity through following her example.
