Barbra Striesand – My Special Interest

Day 1: Five weeks ago my autistic wiring decided I needed to listen to every single album in my Babs collection in preparation for IBSD on November 7th. In chronological order. Obvs. Sorry neighbours… Day 2: self-soothing comes in few forms for this autistic soul but listening to all my @barbrastreisand longplayers in chronological order delivers. A learning curve at 33rpm as I delve into the musicals, … Continue reading Barbra Striesand – My Special Interest

50 Tunes For 50 Years: Barbra Streisand The Way We Were

I can still picture my mother’s net curtains dancing on the summer breeze as I returned home from school that hot afternoon in 1976. Stepping through our forever-open front door, the sound of a woman I would love all my life greeted me, singing her broken soul out as she remembers The Way We Were. What I learnt that day as the vinyl crackled through … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Barbra Streisand The Way We Were

Streisand returns with Trump in her sights

She’s back and she’s taking no prisoners. She has Trump and his lies in her sights and boy does she mean business. Yet another strong woman showing him how it should be done; with compassion, commitment and, much to this Streisand diehard fan’s delight, a stonking string section. Just how as it should always be. Welcome back Barbra, we’ve missed you. Barbra Streisand’s Don’t Lie … Continue reading Streisand returns with Trump in her sights

Perfect lifetime distraction : Barbra: The Music… The Mem’ries… The Magic!

It doesn’t go with the image I portray. It shouldn’t be me. The image of this Wildblood singing Happy Days Are Here Again is probably the one furthest away from your mind when you think of me. But then when the woman who’s gloriously camp entrance in Hello Dolly did more for my queerness than any other event in my life (that and a certain … Continue reading Perfect lifetime distraction : Barbra: The Music… The Mem’ries… The Magic!

Campaigning, Like we do

Don’t tell me not to live, just sit and putter! 10 Actions for the first 100 Days.

Where Streisand leads I’ll always follow. Chasing tugs, running after Doc’s rocks in San Francisco, and even Up The Sandbox (yep I’m that much of a dedicated fan!) Since K-K-K-Katie protested in The Way We Were I’ve always had a thing for Babs and a cause. She didn’t disappoint this weekend when her words took on Trump at the Women’s March in Los Angeles joining the many legends speaking out against Trump … Continue reading Don’t tell me not to live, just sit and putter! 10 Actions for the first 100 Days.
