Yes, Epstein was the Cyrkle's manager. Bobby Hebb ("Sunny, once so true . . . I love you") performed before the Cyrkle did. Epstein, however, wasn't his manager. Both Hebb and the Cyrkle played ten or fifteen minutes each and were warmly appreciated. The reception for the main act was much warmer, as you might imagine.

I adore Mi was a third hit for Color Me Bad - I see a problem saying someone was a hit or two wonder cos it depends on the Country - Snow made have one hit in USA, but in Canada he had severals

L7 - 'Andres' and 'Pretend We're Dead'
I miss listening to genuine rocker chicks like them. How do I know they were the real deal? Well only a real rocker chick would do this:
During their performance at the 1992 Reading Festival, the band experienced "technical difficulties with their audio equipment" and were forced to stall their set. The rowdy crowd grew restless and began throwing mud onto the stage. In protest, lead vocalist Donita Sparks removed her tampon on-stage and threw it into the crowd yelling "Eat my used tampon, beep Sparks has remained unapologetic about the incident. This has been referred to as one of the "most unsanitary pieces of rock memorabilia in history." -
