Thread Name: Do you like 'Little Boxes'?
Subject: RE: Do you like 'Little Boxes'?
I haven't demanded an apology right now Ted: I have pointed out that she was said by those intimate with her to have admitted privately she ultimately regretted certain aspects of her song; & I commented a pity that she didn't say so publicly and apologetically THEN - it was obviously the personal not the architectural she regretted. I know i haven't seen the Little Boxes, tho i have seen the pix & can see where she was coming from; but I have made it clear that it is, again, the personal, not the architectural, parts of the song I find so distasteful. I still don't agree that my tone was more than normally the sort of vehemence one would expect in an adultly conducted argument on a felt topic: I just don't accept your accusations of browbeating [browbeat? moi? why, how could anyone ever be scared enuff of little-ole-me anyhow ever to feel browbeaten?].

What can you mean, it sounds to you that it's the houses, not the people, who are ticky tacky? - "And the people in the houses all go to the university, & they are all made out of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same. There are doctors and lawyers and bizniz executives, & they're all made out of ticky-tacky & they all look just the same". That's what it SEZ. Weren't you listening!? [Aw shucks - there I go, browbeating AGAIN! - back down the garden for another worm-feast...]
