Its the bad girl herself, i get the feeling she enjoyed the 70s out there all on her own terrorizing parents to go nuts all over the world with their children.
"Expert" says.... It's pretty far-fetched, as some revisionists are now claiming, to view Suzi Quatro as a precursor to the "riot grrrls" of the '90s. Her brand of mid-'70s glam pop was far more innocuous and, in any case, often supplied by professional songwriters. What she did prove was that it was possible for a petite woman to play bass, sing, and wear leather with a reasonable degree of raunch and pride. That, with enough musical hooks to draw in the teen pop crowd, was enough to reel off a series of big British hit singles just before the advent of punk, although she remained virtually unknown in her native U.S.
Well that doesn't just quite cut the mustard with me, i mean "petite woman to play bass, sing and wear leather" Hell, she had more balls than the Fonz !
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
"Her American fortunes changed in the late '70s, when she had a short-lived, semi-regular stint on the sitcom Happy Days as the guitar-playing, sassy Leather Tuscadero. In 1979, she made the American Top Five with "Stumblin' In," although this was a duet with Chris Norman. Undoubtedly an influence upon the Runaways and Joan Jett, and thus by extension a mild influence on a subsequent generation of female rockers, she's kept a low profile in the '80s and '90s, although she's done some television and theatrical work in Britain."
Whatever the case, this chic oooozed Rock n Roll, so to all the hard chics that came after her, Suzi was the original template of Chic Attitude.......move over Avril, let Suzi show you the way.

What does Rolling Stone think of Miss Q?Actually .... they have nothing to say [?] But i did find this on a fan site about being on the cover....
Bassgirls.com: You achieved the ultimate musicians accolade by appearing on a certain cover?
Suzi Quatro: Yea, I was on the cover of Rolling Stone! Also lots of music papers including Record World and lots of other covers, again to numerous to mention. I was also in the center-fold of a girlie magazine - fully clothed - which was the only way i would appear. ~ [Source:http://www.bassgirls.com/bass_quatrosuzi.htm]
