independent women

ten years ago there were three little girls who took the top of the charts for an eleven week run. and that was just part one. destiny's child got down like that for the soundtrack to the charlie's angels movie and put the song as the leadoff track on their album survivor. this materialistic call for female empowerment also sampled 'rapture' by blondie. how'd you like this knowledge that they brought? throw your hands up.
