Jayne's World

Well, one of the main contributions I think I made was,  that I paved the road for others to travel on.  I think of myself as a trail blazer. Like Lewis and Clark. A Punk Pioneer! And the fact that I am Transgender, makes it all the more special!  No I never had mass appeal, but I am still going strong and I am an established artist. Still touring. Still recording. Still breathing!!!  Still kicking ass and still saying FUCK YOU., to the rest of the world!!!  I pride myself in being an original and a staunch individual.  Still chipping away at that fucking WALL!!! Causing trouble! Defying the government and stirring up the mischief!  Throwing cow shit in the face of authority and screwing the establishment!  Being a bad example for the kids and upsetting all the parents!  He He!!! 

<<Left - The best legs in showbiz?
