Some of my all-time favs like Siouxsie, X, L7, Amebix, Crass, Patti Smith, Madonna, PJ Harvey, etc. I've seen in recent years when they're 'older,' and I think that's pretty amazing.

A win for me: I went on a long bike ride to an appointment and got this luscious snack from Ben and Esther's. I've been off my bike for about a year due to a knee injury, and I can confirm my natural state is on a bike, talking to myself, stopping for snacks and coffee.
