Taking Sides

We are surrounded by forms of collective musical action undertaken entirely for the sake of those who link in, and which yield distinctive forms of collective sociality (a band, a party, a choir, a dance floor). We are invited (if we are invited at all) to get into it, to join in, to be in a groove, and this inside offers powers, pleasures, and dangers not available to those on the outside. While a piece of music may be studied at some distance by an watching subject, participation requires becoming part of something. It thus seems to blur the lines between knower and known.

She is revealing who she is, the struggles she has had--who am I to criticize the way she tells her story?
Racism, body shaming, and feminism are all touched upon, but the real story is about how the persistent PTSD led to loneliness, shame, hunger (of more than just food), and her weight issue.
She expresses a sort of quiet anger about the way obese people are perceived a
