Dale Bozzio

Fun fact - she got her start with Frank Zappa.

I think she must have had some business and personal issues. Always loved her. She's still performing actually.

God dammit - I just remembered she played right by me last week and I totally forgot about it! Missing Persons is still playing shows in SoCal relatively regularly.

Sorry Gaga. Dale was first.

Another fun fact - she and I are from the same hometown (Medford, MA).

I love Missing Persons. Spring Session M is a great album - and an anagram of Missing Persons.

Missing Persons released a new album a few years ago, which was fabulous!

Usually the OP would ask, "Why did Dale Bozzio's career go down the shitter ?"

She devolved into an animal hoarder….with disastrously tragic consequences….that ended in tears and panic 🙀.

r6 But in this case, the OP was actually original, for a change.

Looks a lot like Lady Gaga here:

You mean Gaga looks a lot like Dale.

R8 Which begs the question, 'Why start now ?'

r11 Because The best time to plant a tree was yesterday..... or something like that?

Madonna was her biggest influence

R13 - she was performing before Madonna - try again.

Spring Session M was canned and released in late 1982, around the same time Everybody came out. Madonna was a relatively unknown until early 84.

R14, Everybody came out 2 days before SSM
