axesladeOw ow ow. Migraine Gods hate me.
I finished reading Cold Mountain finally. God I love it. Better than the movie.
And an explanation behind the 'Feeling Mother Rev' comment I made this morning
"In Mother Revolution the woman realises she cannot fight the patriarchy in the way that they fight and she can’t just turn her back either. In order to be effective she has to come up with a new solution. And sometimes the best solution isn’t to throw a bomb at a balloon, it's to pop the balloon with a kitty heel"-Tori Amos
Now that was referring to war. Truly, I see the song as being more than a war protest. I see it as being turning against all these things in this world that the 'establishment' uses to tear people down, like war, but also teenie magazines that think you need to be thin, propoganda that makes people believe they HAVE to be straight, etc.
