Hear Me Roar!

On the aniversary of Helen Reddy’s landmark, feminist song, “I am Woman,” we got to talking about what might be the current equivalent -- if any!   We played a few listener suggestions show on the Morning Show.  Here’s a sampling of the many suggestions -- ADD YOURS!

Beth Orton, “Central Reservation” suggested by Michael, Portsmouth NH

(”she is forceful and says things that others will not.”)

Kirsty McColl “In These Shoes”  suggested by Charles F. in Port Chester

Dixie Chicks  “I Don’t Want to Make Nice”  suggsted by Janice

Fiona Apple’s  “Extrordinary Machine” suggested by Angela in CT  (”To me,  while she’s less militant than her feminist founding sisters, she serves  as a validation that while I may be vulnerable at times and have made  bad decisions for which I’m ultimately accountable, I’m still an Extraordinary Machine. )  

“Superwoman” by Alicia Keyes suggsted by Ellen on the Uper West Side (”It makes a good ‘I am Woman’ for the new millenium.’)

“You Got to Be” by Des’ree  suggested by Pam

Cyndi Lauper’s “Sisters of Avalon” suggested by Joe in Park Slope

Ani Di Franco’s “Not a Pretty Girl”  suggested by Amanda in Carmel (”AND I’m a member!”)  Yay!
