today's checkin brought him to mind, and now I need to go be a bigger fan because he gets it
Adam Duritz on counting his anxiety in new album : NPR
Duritz: I just felt there was a real callousness in our society towards women — this real arrogant, we-know-what's-best-for-you thought process returning to our culture in the last decade. I mean, obviously it's always been there, but you thought you were moving in a better direction for many years.Granted, with the MeToo movement, you got a lot of — for the first time — exposing a lot of people who were victimizing women. But at the same time, it also made you realize how prevalent it was. Half of our race, as humans, messed with and abused and taken advantage of and, quite honestly, raped. And then told what to do by the other half. It's attaching a valuelessness to half the population of the world.
I was trying to imagine what it must feel like to be a woman. When power speaks to you as if you don't matter.
