Thread Name: best thing seen at a folk club
Subject: RE: best thing seen at a folk club
My, my, fancy being actually pleased that a sexist Glaswegian throwback was behaving in the crass manner which was his wont. While one may well despair of such sexist behaviour it was, at the time, sadly not uncommon. But for a woman to be so lacking in self-respect that she failed to apply her knee to a crucial area was a glaring omission. But not to regret not having done so 40 years on defies credibility. There are some women really do seem to deserve, indeed welcome, their oppression. Brian McNeill, can you please rewrite Strong Women Rule Us All cos the original hasn't worked too well. Alternatively, compulsory songwriting workshops with Sandra Kerr and Frankie Armstrong are urgently required. Which brings me to those two (and a few others) as probably the best thing I've ever seen in a club: The Knave of Clubs in Bethnal Green circa 1975.
