One Quarterflash, Three Parts Foolish

In the United States, statistics show, a girl is walking out on her no-good man every 15 minutes. Statistics also show that 15 minutes later they’re going out and buying the Quarterflash record.

“I’d say,” says Rindy Ross, tiny and pert and looking ready for a tennis game, “two-thirds of the people who buy the record are women. And they say things like, ‘I can really understand “Harden My Heart.’ ” In fact, one woman said it was her divorce song.”
