Ani DiFranco, cool girl #39, is only 25 years old, yet she has put out seven records already! The last one was called Not A Pretty Girl. It rocks in that girl and her lone geetar way. F.Y.I. Rita Ackerman, cool girl #58, best known for her little girl paintings that have adorned the cover of the CAKE LIKE record and Thurston Moore's solo LP has now switched gears and her new paintings are totally different.
