Mean Mary wrote this after she had a terrible car crash into a tree. Her vocal cords were badly injured, and she was told she would never sing again and would have trouble even talking. She didn't accept that! She's a great talent.
Old one I've posted before, but I'll put it up again. I counted up the years I've listened to this, and they number 45. I still love it as much as ever; still brings tears to my eyes.
That "Gold" song got me to thinking of Roller Girl songs. There's just something about a Roller Girl. Might have something to do with my love of skating.
