Again not official Wo! business (my justification Anna- is that subversive ideas need to be accompanied by/is good art and music)…
So need to share this gorgeous song i’ve already played a thousand times on Dylan’s bootleg series. This stuff is glorious. Dylan sings it with former lover-singer-collaborator Joan Baez (who substitutes Mama for Daddy). It works either way (and let’s not get into a whole Freudian thing about this…)
(”If you gotta go, go now” on the Bootleg series is also pretty hot. It’s up there with “All i want do (is baby be friends with you) in terms of my favourites.)
The archaic ministers of the Howard Government are at it again. Whether it’s controlling access to abortion or accusing Deputy Opposition Leader Julia Gillard of the heresy of being “barren” it seems as if women’s bodies, choices and lives are a recurring obsession with them. And we thought we had enough of these hijinks with Hilarious Hilaly running around comparing women to “cats meat”.
Does it scare anyone that we have these men in authority with their perverse perceptions of female sexuality influencing policy??
The boys club of politics seems like an oversized fraternity- unable to deal with the presence of real women as equals and competitors in modern life they resort to puerile jibes at their opponent’s femininity as a way of discrediting them. It’s a recurring theme in politics- Whether its Bush feeling up Germany’s Chancellor at an international conference or US Presidential hope Hilary Clinton being accused of getting plastic surgery- these insults are so cheap their laugable. Grow up!!
