The bucket list is real folks!😍 We talk about the band’s origin in the LA punk scene, how they broke through with pop-forward songs, and why their all-female success was so groundbreaking. We also get deep on creativity, sexism, bipolar disorder, menopause, hormone therapy, and Jane’s new memoir and protest album.
