 | | Long before Madonna made it trendy to shock people with her in-your-face sexuality, Carole Pope was the ultimate shock-rocker. |
 | | From the time the England-born, Toronto-raised singer started up the Canadian new wave group Rough Trade with pal Kevan Staples back in the mid-1970s -- evolving from previous groups O and The Bullwhip Brothers -- Pope was donning bondage attire, tight leather pants and T-shirts bearing S&M scenes. |
