    about me
    I was birthed in a southern swamp on old blues, spoon fed NY punk which made me grow up big and strong, then I became a woman with early rap and Ministry. I'm having new affairs lately with my old flames Brian Eno, Bauhaus and Joy Division.....also check out the mp3's on my band's website: www.bettieblack.com.
