We lost Poly, too

Marianne Elliot Said was better known as Poly Styrene of the band X-Ray Specs. She was an inspiration for young women like me when the first punk movement emerged; we were  looking for those brave voices of self-confident women who spoke to us amidst the general anger and rebellion. She went on to be an artist, a mother, and an advocate,  had just released a new album, Generation Indigo, this March. Gone too young, of cancer.
 
"Germ Free Adolescent"

"I'm a cliche"
