Teenage kicks!

Ah wit thinkin the other night aboot the wummin thit ye wir radge aboot as a teen. Fur me it wiz Suzy Quattro. Ah hud a full size Suzy poster oan ma wall. Manys a night ah tossed un turned (mair tossin thin turnin ahm afraid tae say!) wi Suzy oan ma mind. Ah suppose ma Ma hud tae crack the sheets a couple o times tae git thum in tae the washin machine. The guid thing aboot Suzy wiz thot she wiz knee high tae a grasshopper which siuited me doon tae the groond, nae need fur a set o steps or an auld beer crate so ye could gi her a quick snog, nah ye could git right doon tae the nitty gritty. As a well quoted Beggbie wid say "she wiz ah right we ride!"
Well then it steyed as a dream but ah huv tae admit Suzy helped me through manys a dark patch. Fuck yer psychoanalists gi me a Suzy Quattro poster any day.

The Quatro was a wee fox back in the day.
Nooadays she looks a bit "hill run" as they say up in Perthshire. "Hill run" being a fine wee expression used tae compare rough auld women tae sheep that graze primarily on higher pastures and are therefor exposed tae the harsh elements a bit mair.
Ye have tae love these auld Perthshire farmers and their turns o'phrase.

I went wi' the Missus tae see Garbage at the Barrowlands a few years back and Shirley Manson wis sportin' a wee zipped doon top like Suzi's. She wiz lookin' fine that night ah kin tell ye.
Pure rock chick too the wee Shirl'.
Auld Reekie's answer tae Suzi.

Suzi wiz indeed a brammer and Shirley nae doots gave the same sorta kicks to teenagers a decade or so back. A bunch o groovy Americans (guys n gals) on ma tour last week all agreed that Shirley does it fir them.

And how many pint sized 70's pop rock chicks had an iconic 80's motor named after them?
