My Take
I have always felt the Bangles' jangle owed a huge debt to Vicki Peterson's guitar, and the more I learn the more that conviction grows. Founding the band in 1981 and returning for every reunion since shows a loyalty and musical seriousness that I find genuinely moving. Her work with the Continental Drifters proves she was never just a pop figurehead but a real, restless musician. I admire artists who keep playing for the love of the sound rather than the charts, and Peterson, steady beside her sister through every chapter, strikes me as exactly that kind of lifer.
