Groundbreaking musician Jill Sobule dies in house fireJill Sobule, a groundbreaking US songwriter whose hit I Kissed a Girl is widely considered the first song with openly-gay themes to crack the Billboard Top 20, has died in a house fire in Minneapolis, Minnesota, her publicist has said. Sobule, whose satirical anthem Supermodel featured in the 1995 coming-of-age film Clueless, was 66. She had been due to perform on Friday in her home city of Denver, Colorado to showcase songs from her autobiographical stage musical. Tributes have been pouring in on social media, including from English musician Lloyd Cole, who said: "I'm really too numb to post much of anything. She loved us."
