9. I LOVED seeing them in clubs when I lived in SF! One of my favorites.

Other great songs are "Dear Mr President" & "Morphine & Chocolate."

I also LOVED World Entertainment War, very smart lyrics, dripping with social commentary (things like manipulation of the masses by the media etc), & awesome talent. They still have a "greatest hits" CD on Amazon, check it out. Songs like "Apathy & Ignorance" are great ("What is, the difference, between apathy & ignorance? I don't know, & I don't care.&quot ... reminds me of the recent election.

Those were great days, when I could go out any weekend & see 4 Non-Blondes, World Entertainment War, Psychefunkapus, Operation Ivy, the Mermen, Sharkbait, Primus, or Green Day (back when they were "nobody" playing 924 Gilman or Berkeley Square). Heck, I even saw bands like Counting Crows in clubs when they were starting out.

It sucked when the A&R folks discovered the SF scene, because they signed my favorite bands & suddenly I couldn't go see them in little clubs anymore. Green Day wasn't at 924 Gilman, Dookie took off & they were at Oakland arena. I'm a musician, been through several rock bands myself, so I was REALLY happy for the bands that realized their dreams, but for the majority of them, including 4 Non-Blondes, World Entertainment War, & Psychefunkapus, getting signed lead to the breakup of the band ... & now something that was really special is gone.

I love my new home here on the island ... but I do miss the SF music scene.

10. Very cool you were a part of all this in SF.

Good memories to have!

I looked them up on Wiki:

On 11 May 2014, the group reunited to perform a small concert at a fundraiser entitled "An Evening For Women" which was held at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. The six songs on the track list were "Train", "Spaceman", "The Ladder", "Mighty Lady", "Superfly" and "What's Up?". The fundraiser was organized by the Los Angeles LGBT Center.

Linda Perry was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2015.
