“I have never in all my life heard such an appalling podcast. Emmanuel “Smiley” happens to be a highly uneducated individual as he talks about the need for men..to transcribe the arrangements and chord progressions for women’s work. What Emmanuel does not understand is that a woman can be highly intelligent and be quite an outstanding musician all at the same time (both of which he will need many years of education on by the looks of it).
I would send a word of advice 1. for the interviewer and 2. the producers of this shower..educate yourselves, analyse, recheck, understand and most of all have a bit of common sense along with a slap of cop on. It is the year 2020. I am a female drummer who is in her final year of a music degree..SURPRISE SURPRISE!! I made it to the final year..because I’m a highly intelligent woman who creates her own music, educated herself every day..does not need a MALE to write her work for her, produces, performs, arranges and teaches and I am 22 years of age.
Here’s a list of women that you might take time to listen to who have created their own music (making a lot more money that you are and ever will):
Joni Mitchell
Bonnie Rait
The Go-Go’s
Carole King
Aretha Franklin
Buffy Sainte Marie
Dolores O’Riordan
Sheila E
Terrie Lyne Carrington
Now, educate yourself. Take some time to write your apology for the women of Ireland and the world Emmanuel. Teach yourself a lesson in all of this: STOP WITH THE SEXISM!!!!
