    The women of popular music: where are they now?

    Great strip from the ever-excellent Ryan North's Dinosaur Comics, which to me reads like a rather decent opening post in the Music forum.

    Valerie

    She didn't realise he felt she was making a fool out of him. In fact she barely gave him a second thought since she got out of jail - selling up her house was, Valerie assumed, a pretty clear signal she was looking for a fresh start.

      Heh. This reminds me The Onion's 'blues singers' woman offers her side of the story'.

        Brown Sugar says that Mick Jagger's cunnilingus technique was nowhere near as good as he claimed, and that he is a racist prick.

        Norwegian Wood owner is suing Yoko Ono for the arson her late husband committed in 1965.

        Jeane is no longer bathing in an ice-filled sink with Morrissey due to her distaste for his racism.

              After all those nights in the forest with John Denver,being disowned by an 80s pop star was always something she took in her stride anyway.

                Alice's 24 year wait to be asked out is currently featuring in BBC 'comedy' series Mum. Alas it's about as funny as a bank holiday in Larne because all the other characters are so half-witted they make the Vicar of Dibley seem like Chekhov

                      I'm assuming that Ruby's crippled fella died soon after the hit - and that she thereafter spent as much time as she wanted in town.

                      (By 'town', I'm guessing we can read 'Leeds' - which, I imagine, is where she'd have met those young Kaiser Chiefs...)

                      That's going to be a further kick in the gut for Mick, given that the boy's already rumoured to be hung like a hamster. Even Ruby (see above) only wanted his favours for one day a week...

                        Charlotte the Harlot did indeed give up the game, unfortunately swapping a life as a low rent hooker to being sacrificed in a weird satanic ritual by Eddie.

                          Sylvia's mother long since passed away. Sylvia did catch a train to Galveston to marry a guy. And although anyone would try and run away from that pleading idiot on the phone, going to an entirely new town in order to marry a bloke you'd never met before was always a big risk. It's no surprise that it didn't turn out too well, but she liked living by the coast and decided to hang around, running a small B&B .

                              Ruby's lost her polish and is no longer taking her love to town.

                              Lovely Rita was retired by the council at 60.

                                  The four hungry children were encouraged by their farmer father to "put a bit more effort in", "c'mon, big hearts, big hearts" and "to go the extra yard" amidst much hand clapping and loud exhortations. The average English manager style surprisingly worked however, and the crops were so good that the children never went without good food again and the farmer soon met the lady of his dreams and remarried. The current whereabouts of Lucille are however unknown. Probably propping a bar up somewhere in Arkansas bemoaning her luck.

                                      Maggie May was quite glad to see the ungrateful whinging little sod fuck off to Britt Eckland, her only regret being she didn't kick him in the head a bit harder.

                                      She also got quite a tidy sum for his old school books on e-bay many years later.

                                        Rhonda is no longer helping Al Jardine get over his ex.

                                          Little Susie was diagnosed with narcolepsy.

                                          Polythene Pam developed a nasty latex allergy.

                                              When NAFTA made Chinese oranges unavailable, Suzanne made a killing by selling her place by the river, and moved into the Penthouse of a new condo development in Laval.

                                                  She was a girl from Birmingham.
                                                  She was referred to her local community mental health team and engaged with treatment to the extent that she is now living happily in a 3 bed semi in Nuneaton with her long term partner Susan and a string of foster children.
