Songfacts

Quote:

The Wilson sisters revealed in various interviews that the song was about Heart's anger towards an ad Mushroom Records placed in trade publications implying that Ann and Nancy were lesbians having an affair. The song focuses on Ann's rage towards a promoter who came up to her after a concert in Detroit asking how her "lover" was. She initially thought he was talking about her then-boyfriend - band member Michael Fisher. After the promoter revealed he was talking about her sister Nancy Wilson, Ann became angry and went back to her hotel room to write the song. Nancy put suitably angry music to the words to complete the song comparing the sleazy side of music to a dangerous fish

It was in the news a few weeks that Ann Wilson is undergoing chemotherapy and doing well. Best wishes to her.

Clara Schumann - Piano Concerto in A minor

She composed it in 1835 when she was only 16 years old. Marriage and children put a damper on her career as a composer.

Quote:

[Clara Schumann:] “I once believed that I possessed creative talent, but I have given up this idea; a woman must not desire to compose – there has never yet been one able to do it. Should I expect to be the one?" Her husband [composer Robert Schumann] also expressed concern about the effect on her composing output:

“Clara has composed a series of small pieces, which show a musical and tender ingenuity such as she has never attained before. But to have children, and a husband who is always living in the realm of imagination, does not go together with composing. She cannot work at it regularly, and I am often disturbed to think how many profound ideas are lost because she cannot work them out.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clara_Schumann

While she has some lovely compositions and was a trailblazer, I wonder what more she and others would’ve accomplished in a different time period. Schumann had been a child prodigy and had no shortage of talent when it came to composing.

Nameless, Faceless
Courtney Barnett

Don't you have anything better to do
I wish that someone could hug you
Must be lonely
Being angry
Feeling over-looked
You sit alone at home in the darkness
With all the pent-up rage that you harness
I'm real sorry
'Bout whatever happened to you
I wanna walk through the park in the dark
Men are scared that women will laugh at them
I wanna walk through the park in the dark
Women are scared that men will kill them
I hold my keys
Between my fingers
He said "I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup
And spit out better words than you"
But you didn't
Man, you're kidding yourself if you think
The world revolves around you
You know you got lots to give
And so many options
I'm real sorry
'Bout whatever happened to you
I wanna walk through the park in the dark
Men are scared that women will laugh at them
I wanna walk through the park in the dark
Women are scared that men will kill them
I hold my keys
Between my fingers
I wanna walk through the park in the dark
Men are scared that women will laugh at them
I wanna walk through the park in the dark
Women are scared that men will kill them
I hold my keys
Between my fingers
Go on, tell me
You're just kidding
He said, she said
Nameless, faceless

Jax - i choose violence

Loosely inspired by the man vs. bear meme, it’s about making the choice not to forgive and to speak out (not actual violence).
