I Will Not Be Afraid of Women

I can't embed it, but I think this, one of my favourite songs, by one of my favourite artists, sort of describes what I can't put into words, and how I'm feeling right now, in the midst of various wanks. As Cool As I Am, by Dar Williams: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4j5ms5f6hI

I want to put together a Dar zip, because she is amazing. If interested, let me know.

ETA: Also, this:

Because my computer knows my moods, and played this as the first song when I started up my player...

And another Dar song (my favourite) just because:

Which makes me want to write a slow, lazy bandom fic.

That's always what's drawn me to Dar, too -- the grace and good humor with which she approached the world. For me, Dar and other folk singers like her (The Neilds, David Carter & Tracey Grammer, Eddie From Ohio) provided a unique and intelligent alternative to the mainstream music my friends were listening to -- music that I really could make much meaning out of. Something about Dar's music really resonated with me, and made me hopeful about my own future. When I was in high school, I adored her so much I applied to Wesleyan University, which is where she went. I didn't end up going to Wesleyan, but when I was that age I don't think there was any musician who I admired more.
