And as I started reaching deeper I realized that most of the blues of that day was done by men. Women just didn't have the nerve.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that the day you've figured out the differences between women and men is the day that you're no longer attracted to women. It's the difference that is so fantastic and frustrating and angering, and really sexy.
Women did not have as many options as men, and I need to reflect that reality in my mysteries.
The blues brings you back into the fold. The blues isn't about the blues, it's about we have all had the blues and we are all in this together.
But my big thing was always the blues.
I always had more women working for me than men.
I feel as if sometimes women can't deal with what's going on and they have no one around who actually understands.
I think women today are so overwhelmed and overtaxed.
When you are through with the blues, you've got nothing to rest on.
In the 1960s, you had this booming economy, and you didn't really have enough men around to fill all the jobs. So there was this sudden demand that women come back and perform a lot of the white-collar and pink-collar roles that men had done before or that hadn't existed before.
Women are just so much tougher and more patient than men are - their capacity for empathy blows me away. And their capacity to deal with stress for long periods of time is also kind of awe inspiring.
