RIP Poly Styrene

I woke up today with a tweet of Ms. Mich Dulce (vox of Death by Tampon awesomeness!) saying Poly Styrene has bowed down of her long time fight of breast and spinal cancer. I know she lived a long,full life doing what she loved best but I cant help myself to be extremely sad. She was great, innovative,a genius. I don't know if there's a female punk artist in Brit who can ever deserve to lick her musical prowess boots. (for me anyway).
I thank you,Poly Styrene, for giving the wonderful music that was punk a greater kick, a swagger-ful of elevation. Your songs will live on long after you're gone.X ray Spex's Identity
