When I heard "Bad Girls" for the first time, I was 11 years old. I had no idea she was singing about prostitutes. I thought she was singing about a bunch of girls who were staying out late past their bedtimes without their parents' permission. And for the life of me I couldn't figure out why they were asking strange men for money; although if I'd seen the album cover at the time I probably would've figured it out..Saturday, May 19, 2012

Ironically, not that far from the truth.
Nice tributes to Summer, this post and the one before it. I agree with one of your other commenters that Summer almost epitomized the era of the '70s. As you said, the era would not have been the same without her.
I was about the same age, and I think I thought the same thing. I also thought "Sunset People" was about the surfers on Sunset Beach, but obviously I wasn't really paying attention to the lyrics.
Nice post. My favorite poem is One of Shelley's
