Women Who Rock

I got this SMS forward about women’s rights in Kuwait.

Day Of Solidarity. Monday, look 8am, the seaside in front of Parliament. Stand up for women’s rights. Join everyone and wear blue. Forward please.

I am all for women’s rights and that they deserve the vote, no questions. Yet I have one problem with this thing, 8Am? You want people to go to Kuwait City at 8am and try to find parking in that area? Don’t they know how bad traffic is around that time, or even that people have jobs, kids and other things they need to do?

If your going to have a protest make sure the time is right where you can get the most amount of people without them having a legitimate excuse for not being there. A majority of protests occur around or past noon. One recent example is the Lebanese protest against Syria was around 1pm. I don’t even remember Islamic groups having protest before noon.

If the organizers of this really want a turn out have it at a better time. Or to give it a real impact have a silent 24hour vigil in front of the Parliament. That would guarantee good press coverage and show the dedication of the people who want women rights to happen.

I got the Donnas and Le Tigre in my car now and it inspired me to make a mix CD with female rockers.

Here is some of the artists/songs I am thinking of:
Jefferson Airplane – White Rabbit
Janis Joplin – Take Another Piece of my Heart
Tina Turner
Donnas
Le Tigre
The Go Gos
Aretha Franklin
Sheryl Crow
Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks!)
Cyndia Lauper – Girls just want to have fun
Heart – Barracuda

Think I will start with Aretha – Respect. Then after that its all confusion. I think it would be best to pick out songs first and then work them to some type of narrative. Already contemplating Jefferson Starship one, neurosurgeon
dont think it will go with much of anything.

Am I missing anyone that I should have or even a song that I need to have?
