...extremes of rock vocal styles, contemporary female division. Lovich seems to have tak en vocal seminars from Nico and Patti Smith. Her songs (many co-written by Lovich) are feckless threnodies about lovelessness, entrapment and alienation. Sweet, who is sunnier in disposition, lays down a sort of teasing, jailbait rock that relies on snappy melodies and gum-cracking sensuality...
That doesn't sound like the old Donna Summer talking. But then, she's singing a different tune too. Back in 1976, on her first hit, Love to Love You Baby, she got a gold record by simulating orgasm 22 times and cajoling, in her best jailbait voice, "Do it to me again and again." Her latest hit, taken from her platinum album, Live and More, is a discofied rendering of Jimmy L.

Prime Cut, which featured Spacek as a piece of hollow-eyed jailbait, did at least manage to get across a little of her country-fresh, city-smudged sensuality.

...Roarke), a barely reformed rummy who could go round the bend any minute. Only a girl is required to round out this formula, and it must be said of Susan George that she rounds it out very nicely indeed. Miss George makes something of a specialty of playing pouty jailbait (recall Straw Dogs), and she shows spunk-among other things-as she runs about in tight jeans and skimpy halters...
