I did remember that this song contains the lines "If she rubs you wrong / Just move along / Find your kind of Amazon"...<BR/><BR/>I, and my households, played different Alix album for specific moods. When I was pissed off and trying to think it through, I always put on XX Alix (which of course is why Myra does, too). It was so predictable that one roommate would knock on my door and ask if I needed to talk when she heard that album playing.<BR/><BR/>And yes, to some extend, I feel like I AM simply transcribing what I'm watching these characters do. My dreams for the past four days have been very troubled and full of anger. I finally realized I just needed to get it down on paper. Soon as I did, I slept long and sweetly. Myra's anger can be infectious.Maggie Jochildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07577090500862823864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3576716365575919550.post-5982000647754197652008-08-10T19:35:00.000-05:002008-08-10T19:35:00.000-05:00This is good.This has been a long time coming.

I'm glad to see it here.<BR/><BR/>I read GB because these are real people (and because it expands who I am with its amazing lessons on class, race, and women.) The transitions between events and people HAPPEN. They're unforced, almost as if you (the author) are simply a fly on the wall watching, dictating what you observe.<BR/><BR/>It's been clear for a while that the pressure has been building underneath between Myra and Ginny. I'm happy to see Myra's finally standing up for herself, starting to repair the imbalance in the relationship.Jesse Wendelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10933455966309012824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3576716365575919550.post-69130242276998651072008-08-10T14:11:00.000-05:002008-08-10T14:11:00.000-05:00Very interesting.

I'm sorry to say I can't even remember the tune, but the first verse is:<BR/><BR/>Woman to woman<BR/>We're finding out<BR/>We're working out<BR/>We're making up better ways<BR/>Woman to woman<BR/>We've got a chance<BR/>to do it right<BR/>Why not start out right away.<BR/><BR/>In the Alix Dobkin Songbook Alix says about this song:<BR/><BR/>"It was written to bolster my self image at a time of intense personal conflict and upheaval, and was an effort to make a bad situation feel better.I just wanted to reaffirm my non-obliteration theory of confrontation"Liza Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07012197411969153523noreply@blogger.com
