Midge "Toughie" Brasuhn
"Brawling in the aisles with roller derby queen, Toughie Brasuhn.." From my song, "Ride" written for my biker pal Donny's 60th birthday. His mom was a big roller derby fan and Toughie came over the railing after her (likely after being provoked). Apparently it was a pretty even fight. I did some browsing and found her! Her full name was Midge "Toughie" Brasuhn and she was apparently a real brawler. That's her below collaring an unidentified opponent. Go Toughie!!


"One of the three biggest names among distaff skaters
You gotta be kidding. She made the Derby what it was
Toughie: was she ever! she skated with intensity and fire,
was an intmidator, and never backed down from a confrontation."
