I Grew Up Just Outside Of Austin,

Young Women From A Very Young Age Are Taught That Life Will Be Easier If You Can Just Turn On The Charming Smile And Say Very Little And Be Complacent And Docile And Sweet.

I Can Sit In Front Of The Tv And Watch An Old Romantic Film And Be Transfixed.

I Buy Records - Vinyl. I Have A Record Player At Home.
