Hello, stranger You remind me of someone A jangling lust Pouncing on a sliver
of a dusty pool of light.
The fire's hue is a maraschino cherry.
Room temperature ice.
Backlit by the bar.
Living on the frontage road Going half the speed Laptops of sick harmonizing With the freeway
While I come home at night to sleep But I swap out a bunch of clothes and leave Only glad we've come so far You and me, let's do it all again I'm the sorcerer's apprentice Your indentured ever-present I'm the sorcerer's apprentice
Over and over and over and over. Like, only— A neurodivergent ADHD kid can do. Right.
Music was always just there and I took it for granted, but I also leaned really heavily into it. I did not make a connection that music was something I would want to do or I would do because I was kind of, you know, I was just a girl. And I did not. make a connection between myself and Blondie or myself and the Go-Go's. I just knew I really loved them.
Well, I was raised to be female in the United States of America. So, you know, I wasn't raised with a lot of self-confidence.
It wasn't so much deciding I could do it. It was just that I couldn't help but to do it because the desire was so intense.
Even just to sit near it. Anything. Anything I could have.
Okay, okay, okay. No, no, no. It's not powerful and it's not pretty. Like, those are things that, you know, I wish it were powerful. I don't care that it's not pretty. I very much enjoy hearing women singing in ways other than being pretty. And, you know, singing is an incredible physical feeling. It's like...
your mouth is a fire hose, and you can twist your insides and make a powerful thing come out to the point where your feet levitate ever so slightly off the floor.
It is so athletic, and... There's nothing else like it.
Oh, it's straight up misogynist and racist and hateful. We don't even have to sugarcoat that one. The current country music scene of radio music in Nashville is absolutely heinous. And I watch young women try to get in there, and I love them so much, and they're trying, and I'm like, don't even bother. Let that thing die. That thing is poison. Come over here. Let's make the other thing.
The gatekeepers of country music are absolutely terrified that it might evolve, whereas the gatekeepers of rock and roll don't have a problem with evolution. But there's something very white supremacist about how country music works, and they're really, really dialing down on it now.
There have been a couple. Yeah. You know, sometimes people are so talented that they're undeniable and not even the gatekeepers can tell. Keep them out. Uh-huh.
We're lucky to have Beyonce doing a lot of things. That's true.
I tried to not give away the songs as much as possible. Like, there was a couple times where I kind of went into them, but I don't like to ruin songs for people. You know, how you will hear the lyrics of a song one way and then you find out it's not the lyric that you thought it was and then you're like, oh. Yeah. Not as good anymore.
