I guess I'm meant to give a history of how I got to be doing what i'm doing, you know, what drew me into
music or whatever, but really, there's so little to tell. I just decided one day, and made it happen. I'd read an awful lot of Kathy Acker and decided I just wasn't doing anything. So I went home and started a band - albeit one that crumbled ( Read more... )

Kathy Acker is amazing.

I think the stigma around feminism is the stigma around the discussion of gender in general. It's not something people want to take a deeper look at, to analyze or examine, it's something that people simply want to blankly categorize and move on.

I'm so glad you're here, Kathleen. I've always considered you to be one of the few creative and political forces in this muddled world of entertainment that I truly admire, and I know how utterly random it seems when someone says they admire you. I always look them square in the face and say "Oh you'll learn otherwise, dear".

She was a brilliant force, I really think every woman needs to read Don Quixote.

That's so true, it's somewhat of an anathema within society and that's really bizarre given that it's such an obvious, unavoidable thing.

I definitely don't think it's a bad thing to admire other people for what they do, because there are so many great people I look up to who've made such an impact on who I am and how I operate - Joan Jett, Shulamith Firestone, Carol Rama, the list goes on. I love that people like what i'm doing. But role models are just a ball and chain, you know? That's kind of different.
