Quite.
Freewheeling
At a time when rock was splintering in disparate directions — psychedelia, early heavy metal, folk-rock and pure pop — the Band took listeners back to the root strains that originally gave birth to rock. The timeless sound that resulted influenced hundreds of musicians who followed in its wake, and The Band almost single-handedly established the template for a genre that has come to be known as Americana music.
RIP Levon Helm. From the Boston Herald.
About ladies, metaphorically
In between telling the audience to drink more orange juice, poking fun at the ACMAs and the NRA and singing songs about his cat Ryan Adams sang this last night. A highlight of the show, for me. A show I saw from the front row of The Olympia. *dies from girlemotion overdose*
“Patriarchy is not men”
Patriarchy is not men. Patriarchy is a system in which both women and men participate. It privileges, inter alia, the interests of boys and men over the bodily integrity, autonomy, and dignity of girls and women. It is subtle, insidious, and never more dangerous than when women passionately deny that they themselves are engaging in it.
My new favourite actor (sorry KiKi!) Ashley Judd writing in The Daily Beast today.
