I look foreward to your installements a lot. I loved this one. The hedgehog made me laugh outloud and reminded me of a college job wherein I had to bring live animals on a stage and tell about their habits and habitats (a science museum) cause we had a hedgehog to contrast with a porcupine (the former, sharp hairs don't come out, latter they do come out, plus the hedgehog is famous for Alice in Wonderland in which it played a croquet ball. Sweetheart Like you is another song in which some argue about the lyrics, but it is a treat to play and sing. I just love the musical originality. For 9 to 5 your riff and your commentary are superb. My only problem is when I read your words, I find myself thinking and talking in "Dylan-riff-style" which is really fun and hard to stop once going.
Love it! I think this is my favorite one yet, Rebecca. Your opening story is like a Gen Z update of the movie and song 9 to 5. In Dolly's generation, the oppressive workplace environment was straightforwardly patriarchal. In your 2023 reboot, a woman co-worker has some clout in the workplace, but she just abuses her power in the same way entitled men did back in the day.
Glad to hear the shoutout to our pal Laura, too. That was a wonderful discussion you two had on women in Dylan, and it's cool that you've taken that spark of a new idea and carried it forward as a torch for your latest post. It's all part of a larger ongoing conversation around the Dylan campfire (but now I'm mixing my metaphors). Keep up the great work, Rebecca!
