Today's episode is a tribute to Michele Serros, who passed Sunday night. I'm still processing this loss, so the message is in the music. Humor, rock, punk, surf, uniqueness, strength, loss, sadness and teenage angst is all encompassed in this set. With love and respect.

In her husband, Anotonio's words: "Michele’s brilliant spirit took flight to join her mother among the infinite heavens while recuperating between alternative cancer treatments. She was at her home where she was spending time enjoying that which brought her joy, happiness and peace. For Michele, life was not a fight that was to be won or lost, but enjoyed as a wonderful journey and to be experienced with a firm sense of purpose, curiosity, tenacity, hard work and never-failing courage—all of which she continually displayed with her wit, humor, charm, humility, dignity, grace and of course style. She never quit. Michele will be greatly missed by everyone her life touched in so many ways. An inspiration to her family, friends and fans all around the world, Michele Serros will always be the original Chicana Role Model. May her body rest in peace, her soul rest in power and her words rest in eternal vibration."
