… e quindi come sa chi mi ha ascoltato (e ringrazio per la pazienza visti i disguidi tecnici e il conseguente incasinamento da parte della sottoscritta) una puntata questa tutta la femminile. GIRL POWER, GIRL RULES! Come dice Kathleen Hanna:
BECAUSE I believe with my wholeheartmindbody
that girls constitute a revolutionary soul force
that can, and will change the world for real.

Vi lascio con il testo Lonely Can Be Sweet di Ursula Rucker
‘Cause see
I’ve been there and I’ve done that
I’am in the midst of an evolution of myself
I was tired of the search
So I had to siti t on the shelf
Lonely can be sweet
Lonely can be sweet
My soul’s music
My life beat
Lonely can be sweet
Lonely can be sweet
Lonely can be sweet
My soul’s music
My life beat
Lonely can be sweet
I had been looking for my cowboy
Like that girl that says in that song
“Where have all the cowboys gone?”
In my former life
My once cowboys have gone hoochie hopping and car shopping
Riding their egos like wild horses
On collision courses with thei machismo
While I slow slaughtered
As their valor and virtue drowned in deep water
So, I decided to chill with me for the moment
And play my own violino
Strike my own candlelight
So every night is my night
Lonely can be sweet…
Are you listening
I need to be completely sure that you’re listening
I used to think that the moon’s name as well have been lonely
Now I sip my night full
Like it were blackberry marsala
Then lick the excess off my lips
So as not to waste one drop of its sweetness
I satisfy my wanderlust with the wilderness of the night
And the comfort of myself
I’ve taken up hedonism as a hobby
And have made it harder for the next man
To step into my life without a plan
For how to please me better than I please myself
So if you come without a plan
Then make a swift retreat’ cause
Lonely can be sweet…
