A Women’s History Month Salute to Suzi Suzuki

Baltimore or Less honors National Women’s History Month by profiling the remarkable Suzi Suzuki, the San Francisco-based singer and retired adult film star who was featured in one of the most popular episodes of Atomic TV in the late ’90s. Following is a reprint of Tom Warner’s 2007 Accelerated Decrepitude blog post about Ms Suzuki.

Turns out the Tokyo-born Suzi Suzuki has read every one of Murakami’s books, so she turns up in a Google search (honest, I wasn’t looking up porn when I ran across her name! Well, not this time…). (A Google search also turns up a German music DJ named Suzi Suzuki, which is yet another odd coincidence.) It shouldn’t have surprised me that she was familiar with the quirky writer many call a literary David Lynch, as I remember that Suzi was one of the most intelligent and culturally sophisticated women I had ever met (plus both are considered “outsiders,” Suzi for being an adult film star and Murakami for being a Westernized pop writer living apart from the Tokyo writers clique). For that reason alone, aside from her “body” (34C-24-36) of work, she is my all-time fave pornstar – and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, period.
