Thanks for posting this. I’ve heard the tune, but never the song before. We’re trying to find a way to bring Janis Ian to speak about her life, exclusion and inclusion, and hopefully sing a bit where I work.
Hey, I missed this post! I suppose it makes me a sissy, but I’ve always loved this song and related to it from across the gender divide.
