"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell

Re yesterday's post: Since widdershins remarked on what a cute butch kd was when she was Just Little, and my brother remarked how much the Reclines must have enjoyed being her band, I had to post this recording of Johnny Get Angry too. Cause she's even CUTER in this one, and you can really see how much fun the band is having! The only reason I chose the other video was because the operatics just went on and on and were so astounding.
And a sample of the cutesiness being subverted: (Though it's hard to hate a song with a kazoo solo)
The person who posted this lang version also pointed to the googlebooks version of this book that has a long section on the song:
Once again I'm full of things to talk about, and completely short on time. In the meantime I'm just catching up one at a time on other people's bloggies, and non-net friends. Here's a classic kd lang performance to keep you company. I'd always thought this was a joke song she'd written--didn't realize it was her subversive take a on a real 60s song!
(Don't miss the opera singing at the end.)
And as a companion, may I recommend this movie Fernando an I rented tonight, about the women Ford machinists who shut down the plant in their fight for equal pay. It's called Made in Dagenham and it's very entertaining. I don't remember seeing a single ad for it, unlike their other movie Calendar Girls. Movie about women taking off their clothes = $96 000 000 gross. Movie about landmark women's rights strike, made in the same light, fun, upbeat, inspiring tone as Calendar Girls = $9 000 000.
