^ i dont think that j.d. samson goes by female pronouns anymore.
also, i'd like to add to my previous post about all music being political.
i think that even if music is "speaking to the crowd" and not necessarily out there to evoke new ideas, it can still be political if it addresses the experiences of the listeners. although the anti-bush ban of gay marriage mentality which is the basis of the gossip's "standing in the way of control" is not exactly revolutionary, it provides a sense of solitary to queer listeners who no longer feel quite as alone. empowerment is also political. using the logic in my earlier post, empowerment does make people think differently about themselves so yeah, that is totally political.
