Deirdre Flint -- Genius or Just Really Talented

Parent Cafe

<p>I love good writing and I just discovered Deirdre Flint, a singer/songwriter of considerable talent and more wit than should be concentrated in any one Philadelphia woman. The ongoing “California Girls” thread inspired me to post here.</p>

<p>I was in Irvine recently and was listening to KUCI, the radio station of UC Irvine. I was a disc jockey there for three years when I was a student. It’s one of the world’s truly unique radio stations and still a shining example of all that’s good and bad with letting college students run a radio station all on their own with no control from a “Communications” department or the administration.</p>

<p>Anyway. As I was driving to my meeting at a law firm this song came on about cheerleaders and I was hooked. A sample lyric: </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Another of my favorites is from her song We Fit Right: </p>

<p>“I’m well bred and you’re – well – not”</p>

<p>Also from the same song:</p>

<p>Not really on topic, but do you also know that “Death of a Cheerleader” song?</p>
