A s a t een ager I was moved by Joni Mitchell’s voice and s to ryt el l i ng. The l yri c s f rom Big Yellow Taxi, “th ey p aved p a r adi se, an d put up a p arking lot”, are ju s t as af fecting tod ay a s when t hey were fi rst wr itten in 1970. Janis Jop lin tu r ned th e ro c k an d rol l i n dustr y on its head with her p owerf u l vo ic e an d t he fo rc e o f her p er s onality. Nina Simone s h owed u s that a wo man c an c all the s hots with “I want a little s u gar in my bowl ”. Bi l l i e Hol i day tau ght me th at telling th e tr u th is eve ryt hi ng. To ri Amo s har nes s es light and creates mu s ic that m a kes o ur v ul n erabi l i t y s afe. Th es e s killed women’s word s a n d musi c i n spi red me then and s till d o.
Wh at musi c “ S he-ro es” h ave moved you or ch anged you r p e r s pec t i ve? Tel l us at info@s h ib u iknits .com. We look fo r ward t o heari ng yo ur s tor ies too!
