[MD] Evolution toward Womanity

[ian glendinning]

Nice one DMB.

The only flaw in that song is the generalisation - that feminists do
not have a sense of humour ? The archetypical one doesn't, so the song
works, but Isabel Allende ?

Loved the humour. Honorary bloke.
(A bit too strong on the feminism though I'd agree; She mentioned her
daugher seeing feminism as passe, but that was her agenda for the
talk, and the -real- examples were all women - unbalance in response
to unbalance. She addressed the sexless angle very well with wit I
thought - her previous husband, no shortage of men, beauty tips from
Sophia Loren, etc)

The parenthetical words are sung in a male voice and juxtapose McKay's own delicate, playful tones. She's an excellent piano player, but she uses a ukulele for this one. It is called "Mother Of Pearl".
