Listen Again: Julia Gets Wise with Bonnie Raitt

And then he passed away, and she said, I like to let the spirit out. Bonnie. It was so moving to me. Of course. It wasn't anything I would question because she was an incredibly empathetic, compassionate, wonderful nurse that helped not only my dad but the whole family get through that.

Well, I'm just saying that the... I'm not a country music artist, but I was surprised with this amount of zillions of streams and appreciation of so many women artists in the country field that it turned out that for a couple of decades, they were mostly just playing guys. On the radio. And I couldn't understand what that gap was. You know, like we can't understand a wage gap.

Are you still, are you kidding? Right. Still there. Yeah. But no, I think, I mean, Joni Mitchell and so many great, Carole King, great singer-songwriters and artists have always been instrumentalists as well.

You don't think about gender. You're just writing. Well, when I sing Angel from Montgomery, some of my strongest songs have been written by men about women. Nobody's Girl is a beautiful song from Nick of Time, Larry John McNally. Oh my God, there's a whole slew of them that are so inside what women are feeling. There's a song of mine on Longing in Their Hearts called All at Once.

It was the first time I wrote in the third person about a woman that had a fight with her daughter. Mm-hmm. And our teenage daughter and, you know, and it was just like a short story. Yeah. And that was really that really felt good to write and sing from a woman's point of view. Right. So I sing from women's point of view. Women be wise, you know. Keep your mouth shut. Don't advertise your man.

I mean. Thank you. Thank you. I watched that go down on TV. A news team brought a crew for a woman to meet. The man who had her son's heart. And that just inspired me. I mean, I wrote a story about a woman who actually caused the death of her child because she was looking the other way. And she just was so ashamed and so horrified. She just disappeared.

And there was no way for her ever to have any redemption. She was just one of those people, that crazy lady down the street with the blinds closed. and that this guy who had her son's heart that she didn't even know was donated spent all this time to find her. But anyway, there are a lot more songs I sing from a woman's point of view. I should probably say I write from a woman's point of view.
