I never got that feeling from this song. To me, its two old friends catching up on each others life. The friend is content in Anchorage with her husband and two kids. Michelle and the friend started at some common ground, ended up at different places, are both happy, and still share a bond. Makes me feel good. ;)

Something about this song really bugged me. Can't exactly figure out why, but mostly the lyrics resonated in a negative way, especially the part where she is lamenting being a housewife while her friend is in NY being a punk skateboarder or some such nonsense. I guess I don't like people who complain about their situations... The second album in the trilogy, Captain Swing, was released in 1989. Described by reviewer Chris Woodstra as an album of "swing and big-band music" that "no one expected," [9] the album was promoted with the release of "On the Greener Side", a gender-reversed parody of Robert Palmer's 1986 single " Addicted to Love", in which topless male models performed the motions made famous by the female models in Palmer's video.

To be honest, the real fear of coming out of the closet, not fear, but the real pressures of coming out of the closet had been if you had certain problems identifying yourself one way or the other.'

The song originally printed used "floating verses", which appear in altered forms in other popular folk songs. The chorus of the song is closely related to the traditional Uncle Joe / Hop High Ladies; some folklorists consider "Jim Crow" and "Uncle Joe" to be a single, continuous family of songs.[3] LA Times Posts Names of Those Arrested at Occupy LA, Stories Begin to Unfold About What Happened During the Raid: LAist".

After an Earth Day performance in Chicago in April 1990, she gave an interview to Christie L. Nordhielm of Outlines, a Chicago newspaper for the gay community. Accompanied by future husband, journalist Bart Bull, she told Nordhielm she felt boxed in by listener expectations that she was either straight or gay; she said "I would like a much broader definition for myself." [4] [21] She explained her wish to be politically and sexually subversive by saying, "I resent like hell that I was maybe 18 years old before I even heard the 'L' word. I mean, that's understood, growing up sheltered in a Mormon environment. But it would have made all the difference for me had I grown up knowing that the reason I didn't fit in, was because they hadn't told me there were more categories to fit into." [4] She said she did not condone the outing activities engaged in by members of ACT UP. [4]
