Grace Jones: Are You Ready For A Brand New (Disco) Beat?
Iman Lababedi, Creem, April 1983
IF I WAS writing in Australia for Tie Yer Kangaroo Down rock mag, or in Germany for Ach Tung – Der March Goes On, or in the Netherlands, Japan, England, or any fashion monthly you care to mention, I could easily leave out the preamble and simply state: "Dear Reader, I was lucky enough to speak with Grace Jones and this is what she had to say."
Total word count of piece: 1888
