This week I am joined by musician, author, and songwriter Ezra Furman, who picked the Kathleen Hanna documentary THE PUNK SINGER to discuss. We talk about Ezra’s process of writing her lyrics, the headspace of making a record, the directness of Kathleen Hanna’s lyrics, and how her lyrical approach changed from Bikini Kill to Le Tigre, the notion of audiences and bands protecting each other, Kathleen urging 'girls to the front' and how Ezra still is working on that at her own shows, being misunderstood as an artist, how the film shows self-documentation coming into full bloom during this era, how even the greatest bands have to break up, myths in rock, how the film reveals Kathleen’s illness that led to the break up of Le Tigre, gender bias in the medical system and the exhaustion of psychological burnout in music, Ezra’s experience having to stand up for and stand up to her fans and more!
