Cynthia Plaster Caster Memorial Show Part 1: May 28, 2022

It’s a special 2 part safe harbor celebration of the life and work of Cynthia Albritton aka Cynthia Plaster Caster, who passed away last month. It was her birthday this week and I played music by her subjects, music about her and music she loved. I had a blast learning more about Cynthia, her amazing life, talent, nerdiness, and infectious sense of joy. I’ll be back next week with part 2, 10-11pm est Saturday June 4 on WPRB! In the meantime you can read this excellent, exhaustive article about Cynthia.

Lori Mattix and Sable Starr didn't give a fuck. They weren't competitive. They didn't have to be. Every rock star that came to L.A. wanted to meet them, it wasn't the other way around.

“I’m not upset about the actual word [groupie]. I would be an idiot to say that I never hung around a rock band, didn’t date a rock star, or marry one, or see a lot of music in my life. Because it’s who I am, that’s part of me. But I’m not going to let somebody call me stupid, judgmental names for it either. What’s the equivalent today? “I’m a stripper!” “I’m a porn star!” Aaahhh! Everybody’s a little bit of a groupie anyway. We’re all fans of something. The musicians don’t get any credit for choosing us, wanting to be with us. Doesn’t that mean we have to be pretty damn fucking special and smart? That we weren’t throwaways, one-night stands, discards? We were girls they sought out and wanted to be around and whose energy they needed. Everybody sitting in the audience, appreciating a band, should thank the girls backstage! The real heart and soul of a moving concert is like an organism. Certain flowers aren’t going to grow if they don’t have their shit in place.”
