June Millington Quotes

“Girls didn’t feel they had the right to pick up an electric guitar—that was the problem,”
“It’s not that they weren’t into Jimi Hendrix. The thought just wouldn’t have struck them to go out and buy a guitar and an amplifier and try to figure out how to get those sounds. I remember in high school standing in front of the Grateful Dead and watching Jerry Garcia and I remember the thought going through my mind, ‘How can I play like that?’ It really scared me because I couldn’t figure it out. But we kept doing more gigs and I’d meet enough nice guys who would show me things, and if I learned one little thing I would go home and I would really practice and so that’s what it took. We had to work so much harder than everybody else because girls weren’t given the right to do that. It’s harsh but it’s true.”
