Thinking of that Kim Gordon Article:
a) Is it the case that most of my aesthetic tastes have been inherited from here, whole hog, somewhere around me being 13? (Reading about her in Details at SJSA, the idea of newness before the material of newness)
b) Was the divorice less about Thurston fucking around, then a kind of exhaustion at the world thot was a perfect post-femminist division of labour that once again turned out to the sublimation of female work under male hipness.
c) how often do we have to hear stories of the aesthetic and political left--of Waldman, DiPrima, hooks, Carolyn Cassady, Hettie Jones, and other women expected to do domestic work and the work of aesthetics) and how often, in married couples, do we continue to assume not only the production is monolithic, but thru the lens of masculine taste.
d) So, not that it's not really our biz, but is Gordon saying her divorce, is a priotizing of her own aesthetic, and separating from Moore's, just as Moore's choice of sexual partner become a question less of ethics and more of aesthetics? Even Post-Riot Grrls, even post-Love, post-the Slits, the Raincoats, Poly Sterene, Wendy Williams, Kathleen Hanna, even before that, all of that Le Tigre Hot Topic canon (a canon that is v. v. close to who my friends talk about, who we love, who we agree on, the teenbeat posters of our post-queer future) (though it doesn't feature Gordon, why is that?), do we still refuse that a girl can play a guitar, with as much ferocious quality as a boy. (and that painting, raising a kid, making chicken, playing guitars, designing clothes, producing films, et al etc could be considered creative acts--so perhaps the advantage of that Elle interview is Gordon talking about splitting from Thurston in a way that resembles the splitting of music off from other work and other capacities--b/c you sense that Thurston perhaps prioritized the rock and roll while doing other stuff?)
e) Which, you know, makes me wonder, can i be Kim Gordon when I grow up?
