Music
With Commie Francis
Music made by women!
Internation Women's Day Special!
Image: Marsha P. Johnson
Since it's women's history month and International (working) Women's Day was this week, here's my annual show of all music made by women! OF COURSE this includes trans women. With a national/international panic about trans people going on right now, I'm giving my trans sisters a little boost and making a concerted effort to include more of their music this time around. It's a small gesture but when you're seeing people like yourself being scapegoated, demonized, outlawed and attacked every damn day, small comforts can help. Of course ACTION helps more and I hope you will consider doing concrete things to combat this bigotry. More info on the issues and what you can do here (the other day there were 385 bills nationwide attacking the rights of LGBTQ people; today there are 399) and here (intro the the issues and ways you can help).

Hello. Is "The Kids Just Don't Understand" a new regular program?
Commie Francis (host)
4:15:57 PM
Hi David! no it's just the show name i use when i'm subbing.
David Shortell
4:17:00 PM
Speaking of which, why don't you play Carole King's demo for "Pleasant Valley Sunday"?
Rob from Maryland
4:17:19 PM
Hello everyone
Commie Francis (host)
4:17:28 PM
that's a good idea! Hi Rob!
Commie Francis (host)
4:28:26 PM
if i end up on sundays long term maybe i will make this my theme song!
Rob from Maryland
4:33:32 PM
@Commie, which version (King or Monkees) would you make your theme song?
Commie Francis (host)
4:34:45 PM
king
David Shortell
4:34:54 PM
I find Gerry Goffin’s lyrics astoundingly subversive and countercultural for such a huge hit by a mainstream music act. Did the consumers listen and take note?
Commie Francis (host)
4:36:37 PM
yeah it's no mommy and daddy (then again that wasn't a hit and they had to change the lyrics) but it's pretty surprising for a monkees song
Rob from Maryland
4:36:44 PM
:-D
Commie Francis (host)
4:36:47 PM
carole king's demos are uniformly wonderful!
Rob from Maryland
4:37:03 PM

Commie Francis (host)
4:37:11 PM
the porpoise song one is great, she does gregorian chants!
Rob from Maryland
4:41:02 PM
I'm gonna have to check that out. I knew of The Porpoise Song from Bongwater; I had missed the Monkees version when I was a kid. After your show!
Rob from Maryland
4:45:38 PM
I haven't heard this Laura Lee song in eons. Thank you, Commie! :-DD
David Shortell
4:50:13 PM
Another Monkees song Bongwater covered was Michael Nesmith's "You Just May Be the One", Rob.
Rob from Maryland
4:52:03 PM
I'll listen to that one too, David!
Commie Francis (host)
4:53:04 PM
porpoise song is used very wonderfully in head, which everyone should be required to watch
David Shortell
4:54:44 PM
