Another day of
working girls. It’s always something, isn’t it?
And you know that
there couldn’t be a tribute to women’s work without Donna Summer’s “She Works
Hard for the Money.” Crank up the volume on this one and clear a space around
you, because you’re going to want to get up and move.
Not sure I even need
to comment on the nature of the song, but I will reiterate my sense of
loss that she’s no longer making music in that vibrant style with that
stunning voice.
Naturally, “She Works
Hard for the Money” is on my gym playlist. Another one that cranks up the
cardio workout is Martina McBride’s cover of Emmylou Harris’s “Two More Bottles
of Wine”. Keep the volume up on this one, too.
I love this song—all about
dreams, ambitions, love—and ending up sweeping out a warehouse in West L.A.
Listen—if you knew that area at all, well…it’s the very definition of Things
Gone Wrong.
But I like the
hopefulness of the two more bottles of wine.
I just hope they’re
screw-tops.
