I wanted it so bad.

I asked for it for what felt like forever, and I finally got it for my birthday.

It was this blue Raleigh with a big seat, not quite the banana seat and a small front wheel.

The boys used to think I was cool.

The girls, I think they envied me.

And I didn't have to tell anybody what I was, I just was.

I had this imaginary band, whoosh.

My soulmates, they were perfect.

Girl rockers of my imagination of black leather and Susie Quatro shag.

So cool.

We'd rehearse "Hey Joe" in my garage, 'cause it was the only song I knew.

And then afterwards we'd put on a seance to bring back Jimi Hendrix and Abe Lincoln.

And at the same time and we called ourselves, Secrets of the Vatican.

That was the name of my actual first band.
