co-creator Lizz Winstead has drafted Tony Award winner Laura Benanti, Margaret Cho, Peppermint, Laura Jane Grace, Veruca Salt and Kathy Valentine to perform during the virtual concert"Do Re #MeToo: Sexist Songs Reclaimed By Righteous Feminists."
The event, set for Sept. 17 , is another iteration of the series that will serve as a fundraiser for Abortion Access Front, the abortion rights advocacy and comedy nonprofit founded by Winstead."Do Re #MeToo" is billed as a concert that tackles sexism and misogyny through performances of notable songs.
Explained Winstead: “Pop music has done a stellar job of helping men’s rights activists make their case that women are basically weenie garages, here to serve at the pleasure of the patriarchy. An evening of badass feminists throwing their lyrics back at them is cathartic, and also hilarious AF.” Though organizers have yet to release the tracks that will make up the Sept. 17 concert, previous installments have featured such songs as Neil Young’s “A Man Needs a Maid,” Mac Davis’s “Baby Don’t Get Hooked on Me,” Jerry Fuller’s “Young Girl,” Police’s “Don’t Stand So Close to Me,” the Beatles’ “Run for Your Life,” and the Rolling Stones’ “Brown Sugar.
Thanks for the warning. Cannot wait to ignore this!
