-LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE
ALL-WOMAN BLUES BAND!
4
00:00:32,198 --> 00:00:35,618
[FAITH]: THIS A GREAT EVENING
FOR ME, I'M HAVING A GREAT TIME.
5
00:00:35,618 --> 00:00:37,954
IT'S PROBABLY THE
HIGHLIGHT OF MY LIFE.
6
00:00:37,954 --> 00:00:42,208
I MEAN IT, I MEAN IT, REALLY...
BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY
IMPORTANT TO ME.
7
00:00:42,208 --> 00:00:46,171
IT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO ME
THAN MOST OF THE THINGS I DO.
8
00:00:46,171 --> 00:00:50,967
I'D LIKE TO THANK ALL OF
THE WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN
WORKING WITH CAMPSIS...
9
00:00:50,967 --> 00:00:54,137
MAKING THIS PROJECT
A POSSIBILITY
10
00:00:54,137 --> 00:00:58,183
THAT WE WILL HAVE A POLITICAL
EDUCATION CENTRE FOR WOMEN
AND CHILDREN.
11
00:00:58,183 --> 00:01:02,520
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
WE'RE DOING HERE IS...
12
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,690
YOU PROBABLY NOTICED
THE CAMERA ON ME...
13
00:01:05,690 --> 00:01:08,234
WELL, HOLLYWOOD
HAS COME AT LAST!
14
00:01:08,234 --> 00:01:12,405
IT'S NICE TO HAVE ALL YOU
LITTLE PEOPLE OUT HERE
15
00:01:12,405 --> 00:01:15,033
TO HELP WITH THAT
NATURAL ROOTSY TOUCH.
16
00:01:15,033 --> 00:01:18,328
SO GLAD YOU COULD ALL MAKE IT.
17
00:01:18,328 --> 00:01:24,668
I'M ESPECIALLY GLAD THAT WE
HAVE SOME COLOURED PEOPLE
IN THE AUDIENCE,
18
00:01:24,668 --> 00:01:29,172
BECAUSE IT ADDS THAT
MULTICULTURAL TOUCH THAT WE'RE
GETTING A SPECIAL GRANT FOR.
19
00:01:34,636 --> 00:01:36,846
AND ESPECIALLY, I'D LIKE TO
THANK THE THREE MEN THAT CAME,
20
00:01:36,846 --> 00:01:41,893
BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I'M
A LESBIAN AND I DON'T
HAVE MUCH USE FOR YOU,
21
00:01:41,893 --> 00:01:44,646
I STILL SUPPORT YOUR MONEY
COMING TO OUR EVENTS.
22
00:01:47,023 --> 00:01:50,402
I'D LIKE TO START THIS SET
23
00:01:50,402 --> 00:01:56,282
WITH A SONG I'D LIKE TO DEDICATE
TO ALL OF THE SISTERS WHO REALLY
MAKE MY LIFE WONDERFUL.
24
00:01:56,282 --> 00:02:01,079
AND MOST OF THEM ARE
HERE TOO, I SEE SO MANY...
25
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:03,581
MAKEDA, QUEEN OF
THE LESBIANS IS HERE.
26
00:02:03,581 --> 00:02:08,753
AND SHE CERTAINLY HAS DONE A LOT
IN OUR COMMUNITY. I MEAN A LOT.
27
00:02:12,590 --> 00:02:14,843
AND WE HAVE, YOU KNOW...
28
00:02:14,843 --> 00:02:18,680
EUN SOOK LEE'S GIVEN US
COMMUNITY RADIO. SHE'S
DOING A GREAT JOB.
29
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,057
AND GRACE CHANNER, YOU KNOW...
SHE'S LIKE MY BOSOM BUDDY.
30
00:02:21,057 --> 00:02:22,308
SHE'S MY SISTER;
SHE'S LIKE BLOOD.
31
00:02:22,308 --> 00:02:25,311
SHE'S JUST GREAT. SHE'S
WONDERFUL, I LOVE HER.
32
00:02:25,311 --> 00:02:32,152
I MEAN, IT'S NOT SEXUAL. BUT
I LOVE HER IN EVERY OTHER WAY.
33
00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:35,697
I'M GOING TO DEDICATE
THIS SONG TO GRACE.

THANK YOU.
61
00:04:27,475 --> 00:04:31,271
[GRACE]: THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
ARTIST IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY
62
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:34,274
IS TO GIVE VOICE FOR THE
BLACK COMMUNITY. RIGHT?
63
00:04:34,274 --> 00:04:37,569
'CAUSE THERE'S NOWHERE
WHERE WE HAVE VOICE,
64
00:04:37,569 --> 00:04:41,281
SO EVERYTHING WE ARE AND
EVERYTHING WE DO, WHATEVER
FIELD WE GET INTO,
65
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:46,036
IT REALLY IS AN EXPRESSION
OF OUR COMMUNITY.
66
00:05:02,510 --> 00:05:07,307
I'M IN A PROCESS OF REVOLUTION,
IN A PROCESS OF LIBERATION
AS A WOMAN.
67
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:12,354
AND SO THIS VOICE, THIS
STORY HASN'T BEEN TOLD
68
00:05:12,354 --> 00:05:17,108
IN WHAT WE ARE TAUGHT
ABOUT THE "HISTORY OF ART."
69
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:44,511
THERE WAS A LOT
OF PRESSURE TO...
70
00:05:44,511 --> 00:05:49,432
IF YOU FINISH HIGH SCHOOL,
THEN YOU SHOULD TRY AND AT
LEAST GO TO UNIVERSITY.
71
00:05:49,432 --> 00:05:57,607
SO I WENT THERE, AND I FOUND
A LOT OF VERY RACIST,
HOMOPHOBIC WHITE MEN
72
00:05:57,607 --> 00:06:08,451
WHO PARADED AROUND AND
HAD NOTHING TO TEACH ME,
EXCEPT THEIR OWN NARROW WORLD.
73
00:06:08,451 --> 00:06:11,121
AND IT'S NOT WHAT I WANTED.
74
00:06:11,121 --> 00:06:16,042
IF I WAS GOING TO GO TO
AN INSTITUTION, I WANTED
TO LEARN ABOUT THE WORLD:
75
00:06:16,042 --> 00:06:20,005
AFRICA, ASIA, ART THAT'S
COMING FROM THOSE PLACES.
76
00:06:20,005 --> 00:06:23,383
AND THERE WERE NO TEACHERS
THERE WHO REPRESENTED THAT,
77
00:06:23,383 --> 00:06:26,136
AND NOBODY WHO EVEN HAD A VISION
THAT MAYBE THAT WAS IMPORTANT.
78
00:06:26,136 --> 00:06:29,472
THE LEGS, RIGHT.
I MADE IT OUT OF PAPER.
79
00:06:29,472 --> 00:06:31,766
-HOW DID YOU GET TO
MAKE THE BODY PART?
80
00:06:31,766 --> 00:06:35,186
-THE BODY? WELL, I WEAVED.
81
00:06:35,186 --> 00:06:38,023
I WENT INTO THE WOODS AND
I GOT ALL KINDS OF STICKS,
82
00:06:38,023 --> 00:06:40,066
AND I STARTED TO
WEAVE THEM TOGETHER.
83
00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:42,694
IT'S LIKE SEWING,
SEWING HER WHOLE BODY.
84
00:06:42,694 --> 00:06:48,199
THE TREES THAT SHE'S MADE
WITH ARE LIKE 60 YEARS OLD,
70 YEARS OLD.
85
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:50,201
SO SHE'S BEEN AROUND.
86
00:06:52,495 --> 00:06:54,831
-HER HEAD'S TOO LONG.
87
00:06:54,831 --> 00:06:56,958
-DEFINITELY; HER HEAD--
88
00:06:56,958 --> 00:06:58,918
-HOW DID YOU MAKE THE HEAD?
89
00:06:58,918 --> 00:07:01,171
-I DIDN'T MAKE THE HEAD.
90
00:07:01,171 --> 00:07:06,259
THE OCEAN AND TREES AND LIGHT
AND ALL THOSE THINGS MADE THE
HEAD.
91
00:07:06,259 --> 00:07:08,803
SHE JUST LANDED ON THE BEACH
ONE DAY AND I SAW HER THERE.
92
00:07:11,014 --> 00:07:14,434
[FAITH]: I HAVE TO HAVE
SOMETHING TO SING THAT
I BELIEVE IN.
93
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:19,522
AND FOR MANY YEARS, I SANG SONGS
THAT DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME.
94
00:07:19,522 --> 00:07:24,527
AND I FOUND MYSELF VERY EMPTY,
VERY ALONE AND VERY UNCONNECTED.
95
00:07:24,527 --> 00:07:28,823
AND SO I WANTED TO SING WHAT
WAS CONNECTED AND WHAT WAS TRUE.
96
00:07:28,823 --> 00:07:33,787
AND THE ONLY MUSIC THAT HAS
THAT, IS THE PEOPLE'S MUSIC,
MUSIC THAT COMES FROM PEOPLE.
97
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:38,583
AND THAT MUSIC GENERALLY
ALLIES ITSELF TO CHANGE,
AND CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
98
00:07:38,583 --> 00:07:41,169
THEY MAY CALL THAT
SOCIAL CHANGE MUSIC,
99
00:07:41,169 --> 00:07:45,548
BUT IT'S REALLY JUST REAL
MUSIC ABOUT REAL THINGS
THAT ARE IMPORTANT.
100
00:07:45,548 --> 00:07:50,220
THE OTHER STUFF IS JUST
BULLSHIT MUSIC TO KEEP
PEOPLE'S MINDS EMPTY.
101
00:07:55,642 --> 00:07:58,853
THAT'S WHERE YOUR PART IS:
DOO. DOODLY-DOOT-DOOT.
102
00:07:58,853 --> 00:08:01,189
-JUST ONE NOTE.
103
00:08:01,189 --> 00:08:04,359
-AND THEN THE NEXT TIME,
I GO DIDDLY-DOOT-DOOT.
-OKAY. I'LL TRY IT.
104
00:08:04,359 --> 00:08:06,152

00:12:00,387 --> 00:12:03,098
'CAUSE WHEN I LISTENED TO
IT BACK, IT SOUNDED LIKE
IT NEEDED MORE OUT.
139
00:12:03,098 --> 00:12:05,183
SHERRY, JUST HOLD THE G LIKE...
140
00:12:05,183 --> 00:12:07,852
BLUES MUSIC EXPRESSED;
IT TALKED ABOUT JUKE JOINTS...
141
00:12:07,852 --> 00:12:11,856
WHICH ARE BOOZE CANS,
WHICH ARE PLACES WHERE YOU
COULD BUY LIQUOR ILLEGALLY.
142
00:12:11,856 --> 00:12:14,859
THAT WAS NEVER TALKED
ABOUT IN OTHER MUSIC.
143
00:12:14,859 --> 00:12:18,530
OTHER MUSIC WAS JUST ABOUT
THIS "LOVE" THAT YOU COULD
SHARE IN THE AIR
144
00:12:18,530 --> 00:12:21,866
WITH SOMEBODY YOU DIDN'T
EVEN KNOW, BUT YOU WERE
GOING TO MEET.
145
00:12:21,866 --> 00:12:25,912
BUT THE BLUES SPOKE DIRECTLY TO
HOW WE LIVED AS BLACK PEOPLE...
146
00:12:25,912 --> 00:12:29,290
LIKE THE RICH MAN'S BLUES
OR THE WASHERWOMAN'S BLUES.
147
00:12:29,290 --> 00:12:31,459
I KNEW A LOT OF WOMEN
THAT WASHED HOUSES TO LIVE.
148
00:12:31,459 --> 00:12:34,838
THAT JUST SEEMED TO ME,
LIKE, IT WAS FINALLY SOMETHING
149
00:12:34,838 --> 00:12:38,174
I COULD BELIEVE IN, SOMETHING
I COULD HEAR. AND I LISTENED
TO IT LIKE THE BIBLE.
150
00:13:01,865 --> 00:13:06,369
[GRACE]: I GREW UP IN A VERY
RACIST SOCIETY, AND I KNEW IT.
151
00:13:06,369 --> 00:13:11,958
FROM DAY ONE, YOU'RE TOLD:
"YOU'RE NOT WORTHY."
152
00:13:11,958 --> 00:13:20,258
I'M A BLACK WOMAN WHO HAS
A CULTURE THAT'S CONSTANTLY
BEING REPRESSED AND OPPRESSED.
153
00:13:20,258 --> 00:13:25,513
IN HAVING A SPIRIT TO QUESTION
THAT, YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO FIND
SOMEWHERE ELSE TO GO,
154
00:13:25,513 --> 00:13:31,061
YOU HAVE TO FIND AN ALTERNATIVE
WAY OF FINDING YOURSELF.
155
00:13:31,061 --> 00:13:34,939
[FAITH]: I GREW UP AROUND
REGENT PARK, SO I GREW UP
KNOWING ALL THESE KIDS.
156
00:13:34,939 --> 00:13:37,984
I GREW UP SEEING THAT
IT WAS GENERATIONAL,
157
00:13:37,984 --> 00:13:41,988
THAT THEIR GRANDMOTHERS
MAYBE LIVED WITH THEM
AND THEY WERE POOR.
158
00:13:41,988 --> 00:13:44,949
AND THEIR MOTHERS LIVED
WITH THEM AND THEY WERE POOR.
159
00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:46,951
AND THEY WERE GOING
TO GROW UP POOR.
160
00:13:46,951 --> 00:13:49,954
SOME DIDN'T... BUT MOST
DID, BECAUSE YOU DO WHAT
YOU'RE AROUND...
161
00:13:49,954 --> 00:13:51,956
YOUR FATHER'S A DOCTOR,
YOU'LL PROBABLY BE A
DOCTOR, OR LAWYER,
162

EVERYTHING TO DO WITH US...

IN A WAY THAT'S TOTALLY
ALIEN TO ANYTHING THAT
IS WHO WE ARE AS WOMEN.
213
00:17:32,260 --> 00:17:39,184
SO I FELT IT'S OUR TIME TO START
TO REWRITE, RECREATE OURSELVES.
214
00:17:49,652 --> 00:17:56,785
WOMEN, FEMALE, STRONG AND
IN CONTROL OF OURSELVES.
215
00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:06,294
BEING NAKED WITH MYSELF,
216
00:18:06,294 --> 00:18:10,298
PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY,
EMOTIONALLY, ALL KINDS OF WAYS,
217
00:18:10,298 --> 00:18:15,261
IS REALLY IMPORTANT IN
TRYING TO DISCOVER ONESELF.
218
00:18:22,686 --> 00:18:24,312
[FAITH]: AS A MUSICIAN,
A BLACK FEMALE MUSICIAN,
219
00:18:24,312 --> 00:18:28,775
I THINK THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN
A STRUGGLE TO OVERCOME SEXISM.
220
00:18:28,775 --> 00:18:31,778
WHEN I FIRST STARTED,
I USED TO PLAY WITH BLACK
MALE MUSICIANS A LOT,
221
00:18:31,778 --> 00:18:35,407
AND I FOUND THAT TRYING
TO OVERCOME THAT KIND
OF SEXISM WHERE:
222
00:18:35,407 --> 00:18:39,452
"YOU'RE A WOMAN, PUT YOUR
INSTRUMENT DOWN, JUST
SING AND SHAKE IT UP",
223
00:18:39,452 --> 00:18:43,373
WHICH WAS VERY MUCH THAT WHOLE
HISTORY OF BLACK WOMEN THROWING
AWAY THEIR INSTRUMENTS.
224
00:18:43,373 --> 00:18:46,751
WHETHER... LIKE NINA SIMONE...
IS SHE ALWAYS PLAYING HER PIANO?
225
00:18:46,751 --> 00:18:48,670
ARETHA FRANKLIN WAS A
FANTASTIC PIANO PLAYER.
226
00:18:48,670 --> 00:18:51,715
OR GERTRUDE MA RAINEY... DID
THEY PLAY PIANO... YOU KNOW?
227
00:18:51,715 --> 00:18:53,341
SO THERE WAS ALWAYS
THAT KIND OF...
228
00:18:53,341 --> 00:18:58,054
THAT WOMEN SHOULDN'T PLAY
PARTICULAR INSTRUMENTS.
229
00:19:25,540 --> 00:19:32,964
[GRACE]: IN VIBRATIONS, THE
FIGURES, YOU'LL NOTICE, ARE ALL
FEMALES, AND THEY'RE ALL NAKED.
230
00:19:32,964 --> 00:19:39,429
AND THEY'RE ALL SORT OF
ROLLING AND TUMBLING, WITH
FINGERS AND TOES AND...
231
00:19:39,429 --> 00:19:49,814
I'M CHALLENGING THE WHOLE
PERCEPTION OF WOMEN IN ART
TO BE SEXUAL OBJECTS.
232
00:19:49,814 --> 00:19:55,862
I WAS COMING TO TERMS
WITH MY SEXUALITY.
233
00:19:55,862 --> 00:20:00,450
A BLACK ARTIST, A BLACK
WOMAN, A BLACK LESBIAN.
234
00:20:00,450 --> 00:20:06,206
AND REALIZING I DIDN'T NEED MANY
OF THE CHAINS THAT I STILL HAD
235
00:20:06,206 --> 00:20:12,170
OF A PATRIARCHAL SORT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETY
236
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:15,131
THAT JUST TOLD ME ALL
THE THINGS I SHOULD BE.
237
00:20:32,190 --> 00:20:36,194
IT SEEMS... LIKE MY AUNT... OH,
I SHOULDN'T COME OUT FOR HER...
238
00:20:39,197 --> 00:20:41,241
MY AUNT IS A LESBIAN.
239
00:20:41,241 --> 00:20:45,453
I REMEMBER WHEN I
WAS ABOUT 10 OR 11.
240
00:20:45,453 --> 00:20:50,458
SHE HAD TO STAY WITH US 'CAUSE
SHE RAN AWAY FROM A VERY ABUSIVE
SITUATION WITH A MAN.
241
00:20:50,458 --> 00:20:55,463
SO MY MOTHER WOULD
TELL US ALL KINDS OF
HOMOPHOBIC CRAP ABOUT HER:
242
00:20:55,463 --> 00:20:59,759
"SHE SMELLS" AND "DON'T
TOUCH HER", AND ALL THIS
KIND OF THINGS...
243
00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:03,763
BUT I JUST SAW THIS REALLY
SWEET, GENTLE, SHY WOMAN...
244
00:21:03,763 --> 00:21:07,892
WHO WAS STRANDED AND
NOT KNOWING WHERE TO GO.
245
00:21:07,892 --> 00:21:10,895
AND I JUST... YOU KNOW...
I FELT SO CLOSE TO HER.
246
00:21:10,895 --> 00:21:15,567
SHE'D SLEEP THERE AND
I'D SLEEP HERE, AND I'D
WATCH HER ALL NIGHT.
247
00:21:15,567 --> 00:21:20,280
MY MOTHER WOULD SAY:
"I'D HATE IT IF ONE OF MINE
EVER BECAME ONE OF THEM."
248
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,866
I USED TO WATCH
MY AUNT AND THINK:
249
00:21:22,866 --> 00:21:27,412
"I WONDER WHAT MY MOTHER WOULD
SAY IF I SAID I WAS A LESBIAN?"

-WHEN I WAS 14, THE VERY
FIRST TIME I WENT TO A
LESBIAN BAR...
262

I'D BEEN SOUL SISTER NUMBER ONE,
263
00:22:09,996 --> 00:22:14,376
SO I HAD LIKE THIS RED WIG,
LIKE A BIG RED AFRO WIG...
264
00:22:14,376 --> 00:22:16,294
AND FALSE EYELASHES
AND THIS TIGHT DRESS.

ON THE WEEKENDS TO LOOK GOOD.
266
00:22:19,881 --> 00:22:23,593

SO I FIGURE I'M STILL LIKE...
267
00:22:23,593 --> 00:22:28,306
DURING THE WEEK, I WEAR JEANS
AND A T-SHIRT, SO I'M STILL
LIKE A STRONG GIRL,
268
00:22:28,306 --> 00:22:30,558
BUT I GO TO THIS CLUB AND
I'M ALL DRESSED LIKE THIS...

AND THOSE HIGH SQUARE-TOED
SHOES WITH THE HEELS.
271
00:22:38,358 --> 00:22:41,403
SO I WALKED INTO THIS CLUB,
AND I'M AT THE DOOR.
272
00:22:41,403 --> 00:22:44,989
I TAKE OUT A CIGARETTE...
LIKE I'M GOING TO LIGHT IT...

BEING A SINGER IS NOT UNUSUAL
FOR A BLACK WOMAN, IT'S TRUE.
373
00:29:16,923 --> 00:29:20,927
BUT BEING AN "OUT" LESBIAN
BLACK SINGER IS VERY UNUSUAL.
374
00:29:20,927 --> 00:29:25,932
I WAS ALWAYS GETTING IN
TROUBLE, BEING A LESBIAN,
SINGING IN DIFFERENT PLACES.
375
00:29:25,932 --> 00:29:28,852
AND I DECIDED ONE DAY,
WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO
HAVE ANYMORE TROUBLE
376
00:29:28,852 --> 00:29:33,440
BECAUSE I'M NOT PLAYING
ANY PLACE WHERE I CAN'T
BE OUT AS A LESBIAN.
377
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,943
[GRACE]: RECENTLY, I WAS IN
AN INTERVIEW WITH SOMEBODY,
378
00:29:36,943 --> 00:29:40,322
AND I FOUND THAT I
MYSELF HAD TO EDIT...
379
00:29:40,322 --> 00:29:42,365
FELT THE NEED THAT IT
WASN'T COMFORTABLE
380
00:29:42,365 --> 00:29:44,993
TO JUST BE TALKING WHO I WAS,
381
00:29:44,993 --> 00:29:47,287
BECAUSE WHAT'S ACCEPTABLE
ABOUT BEING AN ARTIST
382
00:29:47,287 --> 00:29:51,333
IS TO TALK GENERALLY
IN THESE FLUID OFF-TONES.
383
00:29:51,333 --> 00:29:53,918
AND IT'S NOT TO BE REAL ABOUT...
384
00:29:53,918 --> 00:29:58,173
WELL, MY WHOLE UNDERSTANDING
AND BEING IS CENTERED AROUND
EVERYTHING I AM...
385
00:29:58,173 --> 00:30:02,427
I'M A LESBIAN AND THAT
IS VERY MUCH A PART OF WHY
MY ART IS THE WAY IT IS.
386
00:30:02,427 --> 00:30:04,929
-MANY TIMES WHEN I
GO TO PLAY AN EVENT,
387
00:30:04,929 --> 00:30:06,890
PEOPLE WILL SAY: "THIS IS A
UNION GIG, A FAMILY DAY THING.
388
00:30:06,890 --> 00:30:09,893
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
A FAMILY DAY THING?"
389
00:30:09,893 --> 00:30:11,728
OKAY, I'M A LESBIAN.
I DON'T HAVE A FAMILY?
390
00:30:11,728 --> 00:30:15,982
I HAVE FAMILY, NIECES, NEPHEWS;
I HAD A MOTHER AND FATHER,
I KNOW WHAT FAMILY IS.
391
00:30:15,982 --> 00:30:19,194
BUT I'M THE ONE IN THE FAMILY
THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO EXIST.
392
00:30:19,194 --> 00:30:22,989
-FOR ME, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT

393

ACTIVISM, ALL OF THESE THINGS.
394
00:30:26,368 --> 00:30:27,911
-WHAT YOU FEEL ABOUT IT, TOO.
395
00:30:27,911 --> 00:30:32,207
-YEAH, I FEEL THE PAIN, AND THAT
PAIN HAS TO BE PUT SOME PLACE.
396
00:30:32,207 --> 00:30:34,918
-THEY CONSTANTLY TRY TO
INVISIBILIZE YOU AND IGNORE YOU.
397
00:30:34,918 --> 00:30:37,253
SO I JUST KEEP THROWING
IT UP AT PEOPLE.
398
00:30:37,253 --> 00:30:39,464
I ALWAYS INTRODUCE
MYSELF AS A LESBIAN
399
00:30:39,464 --> 00:30:42,217
AND I ALWAYS ASK THEM IF
THEY'RE A LESBIAN WITHIN
THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES.
400
00:30:42,217 --> 00:30:43,593
THERE'S GENERALLY A LITTLE
FRICTION THAT GOES ON...
401
00:30:43,593 --> 00:30:46,930
MAYBE IT'S THE FIRST TIME
SOMEONE SAID THEY WERE A
LESBIAN TO THEM,
402
00:30:46,930 --> 00:30:49,891
SO THEY KIND OF GET THE IDEA.

MOST PEOPLE IN THE BLACK
COMMUNITY DON'T BOTHER ME

WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT,
WE'RE GONNA GO FOR IT.

[CLARISSA]: BLACK WOMAN,
I MET YOU TODAY
445
00:34:27,484 --> 00:34:32,447
AT THE BLOOR AND YONGE SUBWAY
UP TOP ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE
446
00:34:32,447 --> 00:34:36,660
NEXT TO THE CINEMA
PRECISELY AT FIVE.
447
00:34:36,660 --> 00:34:41,039
I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT
OUR AFTERNOON AND TIME
TO WRITE TOGETHER,
448
00:34:41,039 --> 00:34:45,043
I GOT THERE ONE HALF-HOUR EARLY.
449
00:34:45,043 --> 00:34:48,630
[FAITH]: YOU HAD THIS
REALLY STRONG BLACK IDENTITY.
450
00:34:48,630 --> 00:34:50,340
JAMES BROWN, "I'M
BLACK AND I'M PROUD",
451
00:34:50,340 --> 00:34:54,636
ALL THESE IMAGES OF THE SUPREMES
AND ARETHA FRANKLIN, AND MARTIN
LUTHER KING.
452
00:34:54,636 --> 00:34:56,638
AND THAT WAS ALL GOING ON.
453
00:34:56,638 --> 00:34:59,641
AS A YOUNG BLACK WOMAN,
I WAS GETTING A LOT OF PRIDE,
454
00:34:59,641 --> 00:35:02,894
WE WERE WEARING BOOBERS
AND AFRICAN WRAPS WITH
MY BLACK FRIENDS.
455
00:35:02,894 --> 00:35:07,732
AND THEN I WOULD GO LOOKING TO
BECOME A LESBIAN, AND THERE WAS
LIKE A HUGE CULTURAL CHANGE.
456
00:35:07,732 --> 00:35:09,734
AND THERE WAS
NOWHERE TO TAKE THAT.
457
00:35:09,734 --> 00:35:12,737
[CLARISSA]: I WAS SURPRISED
YOU HAD ON ORANGE.
458
00:35:12,737 --> 00:35:15,782
YOU RARELY WEAR ORANGE.
459
00:35:15,782 --> 00:35:19,035
I LOVE ORANGE, I LIKE
THE WAY YOU LOOKED.
460
00:35:22,831 --> 00:35:27,168
[CAROL]: THINKING OF
THE UNCOMMON KNOWLEDGE
OF KNOWING YOU.
461
00:35:27,168 --> 00:35:29,921
I'VE LEARNED SO
MUCH ABOUT MYSELF
462
00:35:29,921 --> 00:35:36,344
SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE TENDER
AND SOMETIMES NOT SO TENDER
CHALLENGE OF YOU.
463
00:35:36,344 --> 00:35:39,973
[GRACE]: COMING OUT AS A
LESBIAN FOR ME WAS VERY EASY
464
00:35:39,973 --> 00:35:45,687
BECAUSE THERE WAS A COMMUNITY
OF WOMEN WHO WERE INVOLVED IN
ALL KINDS OF THINGS:
465
00:35:45,687 --> 00:35:51,359
POLITICS, IN THEIR OWN
FIELDS OF STUDIES, AND
ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
466
00:35:51,359 --> 00:35:54,362
AND THEY WERE VERY SUPPORTIVE
OF ME COMING OUT AS A LESBIAN.
467
00:35:54,362 --> 00:35:59,117
I WAS ABLE TO ASK THE
PERTINENT QUESTIONS THAT
I'D ALWAYS NEEDED TO ASK
468
00:35:59,117 --> 00:36:02,412
BUT THERE HAD BEEN
NOWHERE TO ASK IT.
469
00:36:02,412 --> 00:36:07,208
SO I WAS VERY LUCKY
AS A LESBIAN TO COME OUT
AMONGST WOMEN IN A COMMUNITY
470
00:36:07,208 --> 00:36:10,503
THAT WAS DOING THINGS,
AND WORKING TOGETHER,
471
00:36:10,503 --> 00:36:13,590
AND ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS,
AND CHALLENGING.
472
00:36:13,590 --> 00:36:15,717
[CAROL]: ...UNCOMMON KNOWLEDGE.
473
00:36:15,717 --> 00:36:21,181
I'M THINKING I'D RATHER
BE LYING NEXT TO CLARISSA.
474
00:36:21,181 --> 00:36:26,311
I'D LOVE TO BE MAKING LOVE,
TALKING FASHION, GOSSIPING,
475
00:36:26,311 --> 00:36:28,355
REVELLING ON RED
SHEETS; MAKING LOVE.
476
00:36:28,355 --> 00:36:36,821
[CLARISSA]: SOMETIMES WHEN I
THINK OF YOU GROWING UP WITHOUT
BLACK WOMEN I ACHE INSIDE.
477
00:36:36,821 --> 00:36:40,575
I WONDER WHAT FILLS THAT
PLACE UP INSIDE OF YOU.
478
00:36:40,575 --> 00:36:42,786
WAS IT EMPTY?
479
00:36:42,786 --> 00:36:45,830
[FAITH]: WHITE PEOPLE WERE
AWARE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON.
480
00:36:45,830 --> 00:36:48,875
THEY WERE AWARE OF IT
IN A CERTAIN SENSE BUT
THEY WERE NOT "IT".
481
00:36:48,875 --> 00:36:51,753
SO I WAS TRYING TO FIND
SOMEWHERE TO BE A LESBIAN
AND MAINTAIN CULTURE.
482
00:36:51,753 --> 00:36:54,506
WHICH... I DON'T THINK I
WAS ABLE TO DO THAT MUCH.
483
00:36:54,506 --> 00:36:56,758
SO I TRIED TO FIT IN.
484
00:36:56,758 --> 00:36:59,761
AND I THINK, TODAY,
THE DIFFERENCE IS I
DON'T HAVE TO FIT IN.
485
00:36:59,761 --> 00:37:02,013
'CAUSE THERE ARE BLACK LESBIANS.
486
00:37:02,013 --> 00:37:07,102
I CAN HAVE A FULL BLACK CULTURE
AND STILL BE A LESBIAN - WHICH
IS REALLY REWARDING.
487
00:37:09,437 --> 00:37:12,982
[CLARISSA]: MY PLACE IS FILLED
WITH THE LOVE, SUPPORT
488
00:37:12,982 --> 00:37:17,487
AND ABUSES OF BLACK WOMEN
OF WHOM I HAVE MEASURED
MYSELF AGAINST.
489
00:37:17,487 --> 00:37:22,659
WHAT WOULD I FEEL INSIDE IF
THEY SUDDENLY NEVER EXISTED?
490
00:37:22,659 --> 00:37:24,953
THE THOUGHT FRIGHTENS ME.
491
00:37:24,953 --> 00:37:28,206
IT WOULD BE INCOMPREHENSIBLE
492
00:37:28,206 --> 00:37:37,716
TO ONLY HAVE YOURSELF TO MEASURE
BLACKNESS AGAINST IN A WORLD
WHICH CLAIMS IT DOESN'T EXIST.
493
00:37:37,716 --> 00:37:42,887
[GRACE]: I WAS ALWAYS A
LESBIAN, BUT I JUST NEVER
HAD A PLACE TO FIND THAT.
494
00:37:42,887 --> 00:37:47,225
I HAD TO BE QUIET ABOUT
IT OR JUST STAY ISOLATED,
495
00:37:47,225 --> 00:37:52,272
WHICH IS WHAT MOST OF MY
FIRST 24 YEARS OF MY LIFE WAS.
496
00:37:52,272 --> 00:37:54,733
I WAS A PRETTY ISOLATED PERSON.
497
00:37:54,733 --> 00:37:57,402
[CAROL]: I FEEL SO MUCH JOY
498
00:37:57,402 --> 00:37:59,779
AT THE BIRTHING OF MY LIFE,
499
00:37:59,779 --> 00:38:01,990
I WANT TO SHOUT.
500
00:38:01,990 --> 00:38:08,163
I THINK OF ANY STONE THAT
IS MOUTH-WATERING AND PURPLE,
501
00:38:08,163 --> 00:38:10,415
ANY SOUND THAT WATER MAKES.
502
00:38:10,415 --> 00:38:14,878
PAINTINGS WILL SOON
SPILL OUT OF ME.
503
00:39:39,004 --> 00:39:42,215
[GRACE]: A BLACK SHOW LIKE
THE ONE I'M IN, THIS ONE,
504
00:39:42,215 --> 00:39:45,635
SORT OF GETS SQUISHED INTO
THE SIDES OF THE GALLERY
505
00:39:45,635 --> 00:39:50,640
BECAUSE IT'S NOT A MAIN PART
OF THE STRUCTURE OF HOW THIS
KIND OF SPACE WOULD RUN.
506
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:58,231
FOR ME AS A LESBIAN
BLACK ARTIST, I GET
EVEN MORE SQUISHED.
507
00:40:03,445 --> 00:40:08,491
THE ORGANIZERS DIDN'T REALIZE
I WAS A LESBIAN FOR SOME REASON.
508
00:40:08,491 --> 00:40:13,872
SO THEY SAW MY WORK ONLY THROUGH
SORT OF HETEROSEXUAL EYES.
509
00:40:13,872 --> 00:40:17,042
IF YOU REALLY DID
LOOK AT MY WORK
510
00:40:17,042 --> 00:40:20,045
AND IF YOU REALLY DID SORT
OF SEE WHO AND WHAT I AM,
511
00:40:20,045 --> 00:40:25,133
YOU WOULD ALSO RECOGNIZE
THAT THE LESBIANISM IN MY WORK
512
00:40:25,133 --> 00:40:27,761
IS VERY MUCH PART OF WHAT IT IS.
513
00:40:56,748 --> 00:41:04,047
A PAINTING THAT'S SOLD IN
SOME HUGE GALLERY OR SOLD
TO JUST ONE RICH PERSON
514
00:41:04,047 --> 00:41:10,470
JUST SEEMS TO BE SO TOTALLY
AGAINST EVERYTHING THAT I'M
ABOUT.
515
00:41:10,470 --> 00:41:13,765
I BELIEVE ART IS FOR
ALL PEOPLE TO SHARE IN,
516
00:41:13,765 --> 00:41:18,853
AND I DON'T THINK CERTAIN
PEOPLE, BECAUSE THEY HAVE
MONEY, SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY IT.
517
00:41:18,853 --> 00:41:21,606
THE EUROCENTRIC VISION OF ART
518
00:41:21,606 --> 00:41:23,608
IS THAT EVERYONE
ELSE CREATES CRAFTS,
519
00:41:23,608 --> 00:41:27,195
WHICH GOES TO A SEPARATE
ORGANIZATION ALTOGETHER,
520
00:41:27,195 --> 00:41:31,241
AND THE ONLY ARTISTS ARE REALLY
WHITE MIDDLE-CLASS WHITE MEN.
521
00:41:31,241 --> 00:41:36,204
EVEN FOR WOMEN...
I MEAN, IT'S DIFFICULT
FOR THEM TO GET GRANTS.
522
00:41:36,204 --> 00:41:37,455
[FAITH]: IT'S A
BUDDY-BUDDY SYSTEM.
523
00:41:37,455 --> 00:41:40,333
ONE WHITE GUY KNOWS ANOTHER
WHITE GUY, AND HE'LL SAY "YEAH".
524
00:41:40,333 --> 00:41:43,461
AND BECAUSE I SAID THE
WORD BLACK ABOUT MUSIC,
525
00:41:43,461 --> 00:41:46,047
WELL, MUSIC IS NO LONGER
BLACK. IT'S JUST EVERYBODY.
526
00:41:46,047 --> 00:41:48,466
ONCE WHITE PEOPLE PLAY JAZZ,
IT'S NO LONGER BLACK MUSIC.
527
00:41:48,466 --> 00:41:51,136
ONCE WHITE PEOPLE PLAY BLUES,
IT'S NO LONGER JAZZ MUSIC.
528
00:41:51,136 --> 00:41:54,931
IF THEY PLAY AFRICAN MUSIC,
IT'S NO LONGER AFRICAN,
IT'S WORLD MUSIC.
529
00:41:54,931 --> 00:41:55,932
SO YOU CANNOT CLAIM
THAT YOU EVEN OWN
530
00:41:55,932 --> 00:41:58,977
ANY MUSIC OR HAVE ANY TRADITION.
531
00:41:58,977 --> 00:42:03,148
THE ONLY REAL ART THAT'S EVER
FUNDED IN THIS COUNTRY IS FOR
RICH WHITE EUROPEANS.
532
00:42:03,148 --> 00:42:06,651
'CAUSE IT'S LIKE THERE'S SPECIAL
FUNDS FOR CLASSICAL MUSIC...
533
00:42:06,651 --> 00:42:09,237
WE HAVE OUR ROYAL BALLET,
534
00:42:09,237 --> 00:42:10,989
OUR ROYAL OPERA COMPANY,
OUR ROYAL SYMPHONIES...
535
00:42:10,989 --> 00:42:13,283
WHICH ONLY ABOUT FOUR,
FIVE PEOPLE GO TO.
536
00:42:13,283 --> 00:42:16,453
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WHOLE
POPULATION, PEOPLE'D RATHER
SEE STOMPIN' TOM.
537
00:42:16,453 --> 00:42:20,290
[GRACE]: IF YOU ARE SPEAKING
OUT ON THOSE KINDS OF ISSUES,
538
00:42:20,290 --> 00:42:24,544
YOU DON'T GET CALLED IN
TO DO CONCERTS, YOU
DON'T GET THE GIGS,
539
00:42:24,544 --> 00:42:26,254
YOU DON'T GET THESE THINGS.
540
00:42:26,254 --> 00:42:31,176
YOU REALLY HAVE TO WORK MUCH,
MUCH HARDER THAN ANY OTHER
KIND OF MUSICIAN.
541
00:42:31,176 --> 00:42:33,553
-WELL, I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE
I'M KIND OF AN ANOMALY. RIGHT?
542
00:42:33,553 --> 00:42:36,598
I HAVE A TAMBOURINE ON MY FOOT,
HARMONICA IN MY MOUTH...
543
00:42:36,598 --> 00:42:38,183
I DON'T THINK ANYBODY ELSE
DOES THAT IN NORTH AMERICA.
544
00:42:38,183 --> 00:42:41,269
SO IT'S KIND OF...
I'M A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
545
00:42:41,269 --> 00:42:43,563
SO SOMETIMES, THEY'LL
PULL ME IN ON SOMETHING
LIKE A FOLK FESTIVAL,
546
00:42:43,563 --> 00:42:46,608
WHICH IS PRETTY MAINSTREAM,
JUST FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
547
00:42:46,608 --> 00:42:48,652
AND... THEN IT'S BLUES, RIGHT?
548
00:42:48,652 --> 00:42:51,237
AND NOT VERY MANY WOMEN MY AGE
DOING BLUES... SO I THINK...
549
00:42:51,237 --> 00:42:54,240
AND AS A SONGWRITER,
THAT'S ALL DIFFERENT.
550
00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:57,577
BUT IN THE ART WORLD, YOU'RE
REALLY DIFFERENT TOO, BECAUSE...
551
00:42:57,577 --> 00:42:59,621
-BUT I'VE BEEN PULLED
IN FOR CERTAIN THINGS.
552
00:42:59,621 --> 00:43:01,665
TOKENIZED... IS WHAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
553
00:43:01,665 --> 00:43:03,333
I'M PULLED IN LIKE THAT TOO.
554
00:43:03,333 --> 00:43:09,089
I GET GRANTS EVERY NOW
AND THEN, BECAUSE NOBODY
KNOWS BLACK WOMEN ARTISTS.
555
00:43:09,089 --> 00:43:14,386
SO THE ONLY NAME IN THIS
TOWN IS... YOU KNOW... FEW.
556
00:43:14,386 --> 00:43:19,641
IF MY PAINTING LASTS
FOR... A WEEK, IT'S OKAY.
557
00:43:19,641 --> 00:43:23,645
EUROPEANS AND THAT WHOLE
SENSIBILITY OF ART CONSERVATION
558
00:43:23,645 --> 00:43:26,064
IS THAT ART SHOULD
LAST FOREVER AND EVER,
559
00:43:26,064 --> 00:43:28,692
AND NOTHING LASTS
FOREVER AND EVER.
560
00:43:28,692 --> 00:43:33,071
THE THING THAT I REALLY
APPRECIATE ABOUT ROCK PAINTING
561
00:43:33,071 --> 00:43:36,366
IS THAT WHEN THOSE
PAINTINGS WERE DONE,
562
00:43:36,366 --> 00:43:40,078
THE ARTIST WAS NOT CONCERNED
WHETHER IT WOULD LAST FOR
A THOUSAND YEARS
563
00:43:40,078 --> 00:43:42,706
AND SOME ART HISTORIAN
WOULD DISCOVER IT.
564
00:43:42,706 --> 00:43:47,293
IT WAS AN EXPRESSION
OF THE PEOPLE AND OF
THE CULTURE OF THE TIME.
565
00:43:47,293 --> 00:43:52,257
AND ANOTHER ARTIST OF A LATER
TIME WOULD COME ALONG AND
JUST PAINT RIGHT OVER IT.
566
00:43:52,257 --> 00:43:56,928
AND THAT'S LIFE PERPETUATING
AND RE-EXPERIENCING ITSELF.
567
00:44:05,729 --> 00:44:07,814
[FAITH]: SPIRITUAL
ALWAYS GAVE...
568
00:44:07,814 --> 00:44:11,151
ESPECIALLY WHEN I FOUND
OUT THAT SPIRITUALS WERE
CONNECTED WITH SLAVERY,
569
00:44:11,151 --> 00:44:14,404
AND IT WAS LIKE YOU
CAN GO UP TO HEAVEN.
570
00:44:14,404 --> 00:44:19,159
WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT WAS
YOU COULD GO AND RUN AWAY FROM
YOUR SLAVE MASTER AND BE FREE.
571
00:44:19,159 --> 00:44:21,453
AND THERE WAS ALWAYS
THIS GREAT HOPE.
572
00:44:21,453 --> 00:44:22,787
SO WHENEVER YOU'RE
DEPRESSED, YOU SHOULD
ALWAYS LISTEN TO GOSPEL
573
00:44:22,787 --> 00:44:25,790
BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU GREAT HOPE.
574
00:44:25,790 --> 00:44:26,791
BECAUSE EVEN IF THIS
GOD DOESN'T EXIST,
575
00:44:26,791 --> 00:44:29,711
IF GOD JUST MEANS GOOD,
576
00:44:29,711 --> 00:44:34,466
THEN WE CAN AT LEAST GO
FOR THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE.
577
00:44:45,101 --> 00:44:51,399
-SO MANY OF OUR SISTERS...
THEY GET TOTALLY DESTROYED
BY THE CITY.
578
00:44:51,399 --> 00:44:57,030
AND THERE'S NOWHERE REALLY
FOR THEM TO JUST TAKE THE
TIME TO BALANCE THEIR LIVES
579
00:44:57,030 --> 00:45:02,744
AND START TO THINK ABOUT HOW
THEY CAN REALLY CHANGE CERTAIN
THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON.
580
00:45:02,744 --> 00:45:08,541
-A SAFE PLACE.
-A SAFE PLACE TO BE
TOGETHER AND SORT OF...
581
00:45:08,541 --> 00:45:14,839
TALK IN THE WAYS WE NEED TO
IN ORDER TO GIVE EACH OTHER
STRENGTH TO KEEP GOING ON.
582
00:45:14,839 --> 00:45:18,802
[FAITH]: CITIES ARE REALLY
CONCRETE. THEY'RE SORT
OF A PHALLIC SYMBOL.
583
00:45:18,802 --> 00:45:23,223
EVERYTHING'S GREY, WHICH
MATCHES THE GREY SUITS
THAT THE WHITE MEN WEAR,
584
00:45:23,223 --> 00:45:28,895
WHICH MATCHES THE GREY MINDS
THAT ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN
ACCUMULATING THE DOLLARS,
585
00:45:28,895 --> 00:45:32,273
WHICH MATCHES THE KIND OF
GREY HEART WHICH HAS NO SOUL
586
00:45:32,273 --> 00:45:36,653
AND DOESN'T CARE ABOUT HOW OTHER
PEOPLE LIVE OR WHO HAS TO SUFFER
FOR THEIR OWN PRIVILEGE.
587
00:45:36,653 --> 00:45:38,905
A SPACE WHERE WOMEN CAN
NOT BE OPPRESSED BY THAT,
588
00:45:38,905 --> 00:45:43,284
AND WHERE CHILDREN CAN NOT BE
OPPRESSED BY THAT HIERARCHY
OF WHO'S THE BOSS
589
00:45:43,284 --> 00:45:45,495
AND WHO OWNS WHAT...
590
00:45:45,495 --> 00:45:51,793
JUST A PLACE FOR OURSELVES AS
WOMEN, BLACK LESBIAN ARTISTS,
TO LIVE AND TO HAVE A WAY OUT.
591
00:45:51,793 --> 00:45:56,047
IT WOULD BE REALLY
GOOD TO SEE THAT...
592
00:45:56,047 --> 00:45:58,216
IT'LL ALWAYS BE HERE,
EVEN AFTER WE'RE GONE,
593
00:45:58,216 --> 00:46:01,177
THERE'LL BE A PLACE FOR
WOMEN AND FOR CHILDREN.
594
00:46:01,177 --> 00:46:04,264
AND EVEN... I MEAN,
IT'S OPEN TO DISCUSSION...
595
00:46:04,264 --> 00:46:06,933
MAYBE YOU WANT TO
HAVE SOME MEN COME UP.
596
00:46:06,933 --> 00:46:09,894
I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE
LAND IS OPEN TO EVERYONE,
597
00:46:09,894 --> 00:46:11,980
BUT WE'RE OPEN IN
TERMS OF OUR POLITICS.
598
00:46:11,980 --> 00:46:17,986
IT'S A WORLD POLITICS
AND WE'RE TRYING TO GET
A MORE GLOBAL VIEW. RIGHT.
599
00:46:17,986 --> 00:46:23,366
I WROTE THIS SONG FOR LESBIAN
AND GAY PRIDE DAY; IT'S CALLED
LOVING WOMEN LOVING.
600
00:46:23,366 --> 00:46:24,951
WOMEN LOVING WOMEN, I THINK...
601
00:46:24,951 --> 00:46:29,080
SO... JUST WANT
TO BRING EVERYBODY...

00:47:07,827 --> 00:47:11,206

BRITISH SONGS YOU TAUGHT
ME BEFORE. RIGHT, LUV?
626
00:49:11,868 --> 00:49:16,665
-I TAUGHT YOU A BRITISH SONG?
-YOU KNOW... THAT ONE...
-IT'S FROM THE CARIBBEAN.
627
00:49:16,665 --> 00:49:19,542
-RIGHT. BRITISH
ISLES. ISN'T IT, LUV?
-NO, WEST INDIES.
628
00:49:19,542 --> 00:49:22,545
-ISN'T IT CALLED
BRITISH ISLES NOW?
-WHICH, CARIBBEAN?
629
00:49:22,545 --> 00:49:24,506
-YES. PLAY THAT
FUNKY THING YOU DO.
630
00:49:24,506 --> 00:49:26,508
-THAT'S NORTH AMERICAN FUNKY.
631
00:49:26,508 --> 00:49:30,887
THAT IS CARIBBEAN.
632
00:49:30,887 --> 00:49:33,515
-I BELIEVE IT...
I FEEL MY BLOOD NOW...

00:49:33,515 --> 00:49:35,892
