ROCK Orgies are songs that celebrate other artists or songs.
Today, the political call-out anthem "Hot Topic" by Le Tigre.
After helping spearhead the Riot Grrrl Movement in the early '90s, a Punk feminist running partner with Grunge and activist youth, Kathleen Hanna eventually struck new courses with the Electro-Punk trio, Le Tigre.
"Hot Topic" gives due shout-outs to tons of female innovators in the arts, sports, activism, and music.
Here's a cool video by Wynne Greenwood that complements that with even more great influencers.

Don't you stop..."
