jahnakonda26 марта 2018 г.Находиться на сцене для меня значит быть бесстрашной. Я написала статью для Artforum в середине восьмидесятых, там есть строчка, которую часто цитирует критик Грейл Маркус: “Люди платят деньги за то, чтобы посмотреть, как другие верят в себя”. Имея в виду, что, чем выше шанс облажаться на публике, тем больше значения в твоих действиях. В этом и есть отличие от писателя или художника: когда ты на сцене, тебе не спрятаться от людей, и от себя тоже.

Miou17 января 2017 г.Читать далееWhen you listen to old R&B records, the women on them sang in a really fierce, kick-ass way. In general, though, women aren’t really allowed to be kick-ass. It’s like the famous distinction between art and craft: Art, and wildness, and pushing against the edges, is a male thing. Craft, and control, and polish, is for women. Culturally we don’t allow women to be as free as they would like, because that is frightening. We either shun those women or deem them crazy. Female singers who push too much, and too hard, don’t tend to last very long. They’re jags, bolts, comets: Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday. But being that woman who pushes the boundaries means you also bring in less desirable aspects of yourself. At the end of the day, women are expected to hold up the world, not annihilate it.

То, что раньше называлось «испанским стилем», сейчас выглядит каким-то болезненным. Создаётся впечатление, что сейчас никто не знает, как правильно штукатурить.

Я провела много времени в Берлине и у немцев есть все эти замечательные длинные слова с особыми значениями. Например, Maskenfreiheit, что означает “маска свободы”.

Today we have someone like Lana Del Rey, who doesn’t even know what feminism is, who believes it means women can do whatever they want, which, in her world, tilts toward self-destruction, whether it’s sleeping with gross older men or being a transient biker queen. Equal pay and equal rights would be nice. Naturally, it’s just a persona. Does she truly believe it’s beautiful when young musicians go out on a hot flame of drugs and depression, or is it just her persona?

Standing in front of me, Kurt seemed small, close to my height, though he was actually five foot nine and I’m only five foot five. He had big, watery eyes, slightly hunted looking. I’m not sure why, but I felt an immediate kinship with him, one of those mutual I-can-tell-you-are-a-super-sensitive-and-emotional-person-too sorts of connections.

Karen was so thin from starving herself that her clothes hung on her bones like flowing biblical robes. She couldn’t make peace with her own body’s curves. She would never get the love she craved from her mother, who favored her brother, or from her brother himself. Their approval meant everything. How was she not the quintessential woman in our culture, compulsively pleasing others in order to achieve some degree of perfection and power that’s forever just around the corner, out of reach? It was easier for her to disappear, to free herself finally from that body, to find a perfection in dying.

The only autonomy Karen felt she had in her life she exerted over her own body. She was an extreme version of what a lot of women suffer from—a lack of control over things other than their bodies, which turns the female body into a tool for power—good, bad, or ugly.

It’s worth remembering that from the beginning, rock and roll was never based in musical training or technique, just as punk rock was never about being a good musician and No Wave was at its core about pure expression.
