| Suzanne Vega – Ironbound/Fancy Poultry Lyrics
| 2 years ago

This is one of her most haunting songs. It jumps into my head when I am feeling objectified as a woman. I feel like it is universal, not just about the woman in the song. To society, in magazines, media, the job world, and the dating world, so often I feel that we are all "fancy poultry". I wish that we could be seen for more than what is on the surface. Women go through so much of being treated as a commidity, worthy of being consumed or not, based on the parts we have. I am not bitter or hateful toward men, and I don't want readers to assume that. What I do want is for them to realize what it is like to be the opposite gender. Maybe men are sometimes objectified too? Their minds and their achievements seem to garner more points, however, in real time. |

I saw him perform this song on SNL, and he had Hippie Dream written on a card tucked into the side of his hat. Does he think that the hippy generation's values are only a dream now? I hope not. |
