Something learned...

While down in California, I hypothisized that I am missing some fundimental girly gene. I don't really like Ani DiFranco or Tori Amos or Sarah McLaughlin. Not really. I won't turn it off if I hear it. I appreciate the talent that goes into the music. I'll even sing along since a lot of the songs fit my vocal range.

I just don't seem to have the reaction that other women I know have to these people. They don't mean anything special to me. I am not 'deeply touched' by them.

I think maybe I traded that gene in for the 'appreciate fast shiny things' gene.

I am fairly androgynous myself. In fact I think a lot of females are like that. I don't know too many 'girly-girl' types.

I think society attempts to put us in that box where we should have 'girl power' (it's a clever marketing tool btw) and wear pink.

I'm not going to support any artist just because she's a woman, if she stinks, she stinks, end of story.

My attraction to Ani Difranco is because she plays Banjo and so do I, but I don't like all of her stuff. I hate Sarah M. I have to be in a Tori mood to appreciate her.

My favorite chics are Nina Simone, Paula Cole and Etta James. I guess I'm sorta old school.
