WLRN Music Hour with DJ Phoenixx, #25: Calling Re-Volting Hags
b'Crackpot Crone: an Outrageous, Be-Laughing woman; one whose laughter melts down the plastic passions and unpots the potted ones. \\nSyn-Crone-icities n: "coincidences" experienced and recognized by Crones as Strangely significant. Examples: too numerous to be Nagnoted here. Crones reading this (book) are invited to draw from their own experiences to illustrate this definition. \\nPlease join me for an hour of HAG music and short readings from Mary Daly\'s WICKEDARY to Summon all Re-volting Hags on the planet!\\nNow you have touched the women,\\nyou have struck a rock,\\nyou have dislodged a boulder,\\nyou will be crushed.\\n -South African Women\'s Freedom Song, Aug. 9, 1956\\n\\nOld Woman Linda Shear\\nTrollabundin Eivor\\nManaus Tellu\\nTass\'on Nain(Here\'s a Woman) Hedningarna\\nAncestor Albannach\\nRosna Livada Laboratorium Piesni\\nNinety Linda Shear\\nSavage Daughter* Wyndreth Bergensdottir\\nGy Neski\'yn Chant of the Ancients Carolyn Hillyer\\nA Song We All Knew How To Sing Carolyn Hillyer\\nKadjo Nani Carolyn Hillyer\\nAncestor\'s Song Kellianna\\n\\n*Note: as a white woman, I am often uncomfortable using this song because of the historically racist use of the word *savage*. It has been used in harmful/hateful/disparaging ways by white people against people of color (ie anyone not of white European ancestry). I also recognize that the singer/songwriter is reclaiming the word \'savage\' to mean a quality of great value. I offer the song in that light, in that spirit, of summoning Wildness that is free from convention. At the same time, I am keenly aware of the inherent white privilege of getting to decide what the word means and when, given all the historic times it was decided by other white people to mean something awful to justify rape, violence and murder.'
