Saints don't bother with a tear stained eye ...

"Tear Stained Eye" by Son Volt is maybe my favorite goodbye song, ever. Take a moment with me, will you?
Ah, yes, now we are all verklempt, are we not? Well, let us cheer the eff up. Let's talk about ladies we love, in the spirit of continuing to rock our ladyness as the sun sets on Heartless Doll.
The ladies who've inspired me are: Gwen Stefani, who got me through junior high school. Jewel, who is responsible for inspiring some seriously bad teen angst poetry c. 9th grade, Virginia Woolfe, whose "Room Of One's Own" changed the way I thought about writing as a woman, Yoko Ono, for being brilliant and crazy, Ariel Levy, for writing Female Chauvinist Pigs, Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards for Manifesta, Lady Fucking Gaga, Lauryn Hill, Joan Rivers, heck, just about every woman I've ever seen do stand-up, Bette Midler!, Fey and Poehler, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Cecile Richards of Planned Parenthood and her amazing Texan mother, Ann Richards, Dolly Madison (seriously, read up on her!) and ... oh gosh, I'll add more later.
Who inspires you, Dolls?

Inspirational ladies: How about Kim Gordon and Patti Smith? Amy Goodman? My favorite battle-axe: Judge Judy

Posted 11/16/2010 at 01:14:23 AMSaying goodbye is so difficult sometimes. At least in music we can hear that we are not the only ones to have suffered.
