I love this woman!
This resonates a lot with what's going on in my head these days. "Find the enemy on your own being" also resonates with something that I read yesterday in Bringers Of The Dawn.
“There is a song called The Power of Orange Knickers that really kind of explores the idea of the word ‘terrorist’. So I put on a pair of orange knickers one morning and I decided if I am going to stalk the idea of a terrorist without having an idea of what one was then I am going to need my orange knickers. And as I started to walk over to the piano I started to think about words that rhymed with ‘terrorist’ and the song kept drawing me in, and drawing me in deeper and deeper and deeper and it said yes it is easy to see the enemy if it is in another country. It’s easy to see the enemy in another culture. Find the enemy in your own culture. Then find the enemy in your own being. And she’s there. We all have this part of ourselves that will choose to obliterate an idea instead of negotiating with it, because it takes great skill to negotiate with ideas, it doesn’t take a lot of skill to obliterate, unfortunately. It doesn’t sound like this one the record, but just alone here with us the essence is (plays orange knickers). ..and it goes on and I began to understand how the opposites, if they don’t have understanding and a respect for one another, and hold it into balance, then the whole thing begins to bring chaos.”

-There’s a line in The Power of Orange Knickers about not knowing who the real terrorist is…
Yeah. I know some artists prefer not to comment, but I’ve followed the US administration and I genuinely believe they’ve emotionally blackmailed and manipulated the American people. We’re living in a frightening time and I wish people would wake up and realise they’re surrendering their civil liberties.
