* So it looks like Tom Petty really is dead. The premature announcement that distressed his family was a shitty thing to do, which is why I just posted some of his music on Tumblr Monday night, but the Tuesday confirmation looked solid. I keep thinking about the way my sister and I felt about "Don't Come around here no more." There was feminist protest at the imagery, but talking amoung ourselves, we thought it was a pretty accurate depiction of how it felt for her to be a girl in our culture. To us the changing proportions symbolized the way women and girls were constantly dealing with rules endlessly changed to disadvantage them. We took the carving up like cake to be a pretty solid indictment of the competing demands and expectations on girls and women and the way men so often treat women as objects to be consumed. My Sister and I watched that video and we Sympathized with Alice, not the Hatter, whereas a lot of people read it as endorsement of patriarchy. More proof that anything can mean anything depending on on's point of view.

In any case, it sounds like he had really gotten his life together and was having a great time, and I am sorry for his friend and family left behind.
