BULLSHIT. Having gigged with Kathy Valentine on more than one ocassion I can assure you that she can play.
Yup, saw them live in Houston at the peak of their popularity - they actually played well and certainly you could tell that they were playing. I have to say that they pulled off a pretty good show.
As far as looks go I kinda like the slightly chubby, pre implants, Belinda and Jane Weidlin was always a little hottie in my book.
