I remember thinking when I read this page that nothing needed to be said, that I should just xerox it and print it as is. I liked the way that it was off-center. It seemed to make a visual statement about the content. Then I thought, oh it's like that Led Zeppelin song, perfect. I always liked that song, Dazed and Confused but was totally mystified by that line. At the time, I seemed to use the word "soul" to express the idea that people had a core essence. I think I got this from transcendental writing on art and the romantic beats. I used the soul as a metaphor I guess but didn't believe in a "soul" that was separate from a body that would exist after you are dead or whatever. So when I stumbled on this connection I thought I'd present it as is. The social construction of the female soul, through myth, resurfacing in rock songs as popular narrative--to draw attention to this process--that our popular songs are influenced by ideas that are rooted in patriarchy--was a statement. This is how I was thinking at the time as I remember it today.
ReplyDeleteThat's incredible. It says so much.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe people were ever primitive enough to believe that...and that many of them are still ignorant enough to believe things close to it today and justify them based on so-called biblical evidence.
