You Are My Spoon

    Today's SONG TO CHEW is written and sung by Amy Fix. 'YOU ARE MY SPOON' is part of my "Ebenezer's Make Over" album; a feminist version of Charles Dickens' classic, "A Christmas Carol". His story is actually a 'make over' about how crochety Ebenezer Scrooge changed his stingy ways after being visited by three spirits during the night.   I use that story along with songs from the feminist men's and women's movements to awaken Ebenezer to the errors of his sexist and patriarchal ways!  With songs from my friends Holly Near, Amy Fix, Geof Morgan, Charlie Murphy, Fred Small, Romanovsky and Phillips, and others, along with actors and sound effects, we created EBENEZER'S MAKE OVER.  Amy's love song is part of Scrooge's visit to his childhood, where he's reminded that as a young man, he fell in love, but didn't know how to fit with his sweetheart very well, so they broke up. "She wanted me to be a 'spoon', but all I knew how to do was be a fork!"  ('Spooning' is when we cuddle in bed with someone else, both facing the same direction.)  This song generates the question, "how do we learn to be comfortable with people who are different than we are?"  Scrooge learns that if we can share some of our essential 'humanness' with others, we open the door to get to 'know' them better.  And that's just one of the ideas we'll chew on today.  Please click the link, and follow this podcast.  We'll do it together again next week, with another SONG TO CHEW!  Bye for now!
