Feminism, Music, and Sleeplessness

Feminism, Music, and Sleeplessness posted by Sage -- 2:44 AM.

Third sleepless night in two weeks. Time to break out the 5HTP. Oh the joys of fibromyalgia...

I just caught up on parts 2-4 of Sarah Bebhinn's series on "Subversive Songs - How the Third Wave is Reinventing Feminism."

The goal of her series:

Through four specific songs by four self-identified feminist songwriters, Tori Amos, Cyndi Lauper, Ani DiFranco and Dar Williams, I’ll show how these artists are exemplifying ... Third Wave ideals in their songs.

Food for thought for this Second Wave feminist, and an interesting synchrony — this afternoon I watched Rosanna Arquette's 2005 documentary, All We Are Saying.

More food for thought, of several varieties.

Favorite quotes from the video:

I live in my head. I like it there. (Chrissie Hynde)

If the magic faery comes down and takes a wand and says 'What would you like to do?' you should absolutely say 'rock star' cause it is the most fun thing. (Stevie Nicks)
