I totally forgot about this song! Great post!

Classic!

To head off the inevitable question of why a man is singing about being (or not being) "your woman", I present this quote from the artist:

Ummmm…well, that’s a toughie. When I wrote it, I was trying to write a pop song that had more than one perspective. Although it’s written in the first person the character behind that viewpoint isn’t necessarily what the casual listener would expect. I’d been reading a lot of Wilhelm Reich and Andrea Dworkin and they both influenced the lyrics in different ways. Yes, I’m a geek.

So, these are *some* of the things it’s about:
# Being a member of an orthodox Trotskyist / Marxist movement (as I was for three years in the 80s).
# Being a straight guy in love with a lesbian (ditto).
# Being a gay guy in love with a straight man (not tried this one yet).
# Being a straight girl in love with a lying, two-timing, fake-ass Marxist.
# The hypocrisy that results when love and lust get mixed up with highbrow ideals :-)

The last time I checked I was male. But as for gender…that’s another kettle of fish :-)

Nice attempt at a sample for this track, which is one of the best to come out of the 90s. Unfortunately, then he opens his trap. The rapist
