Old Babe

Huge thanks to my excellent friend Mel for buying me a ticket for an online audience with the great Margaret Atwood tonight. Interviewed by Kirsty Wark and with Maxine Peake giving a reading from Atwood’s latest book ‘Old Babes in the Wood’. Magical stuff! Here’s Margaret on my iPad. 

Today’s tune is Courtney Barnett’s ‘Nameless, Faceless’ https://youtu.be/HZZSYDhx0FI which quotes from Atwood…

“I wanna walk through the park in the dark
Men are scared that women will laugh at them
I wanna walk through the park in the dark
Women are scared that men will kill them
I hold my keys between my fingers”
