Suzi Quatro In America
Richard Cromelin, Phonograph Record, August 1974
SUZI QUATRO was thrown out of kindergarten, she never had a birthday party, and she used to steal money from a coin box in the church and use it to buy popsicles for the other kids (until one day she found it padlocked). And she used to wiggle in front of a mirror, miming to Elvis Presley records.
