Remember the days when women couldn’t vote, work at Subway, run for president, or win surfing championships? Thanks to women like Hil-Dawg and the girls in the film Blue Crush, it seems likely that we’ll someday have a female, surf contest-winning president.

What does that mean for women in music? Well, fuck Lilith Fair. We don’t need you or your "Girlapalooza" anymore. Strong, talented women like Juana Molina and Feist can perform and not be looked at as sexual objects. Yes, times have changed.
