The Punk Singer Page #9

People who run around being.

...heroes act like they

don't need help.

That's the nature of being a

hero is you don't need help.

You're the helper.

There are moments where she.

...knows that she can ask for help.

But I don't think that that's.

...necessarily an organic

thing for her.

I realized I wanted to write.

...a record when I started getting.

...sicker and sicker and sicker...

'cause once, like, I really was.

...pretty sure I couldn't do

it, I really wanted it.

The thing that made me change or.

...face it was that my illness

was not only affecting me.

It was affecting the

people that I love.

I worked at a domestic-violent

shelter, and I remember women.

...all the time saying, "I could

take it, but when he started.

...abusing the kids, I

picked them up and left. "

They were, like, totally

protective of their children...

...but they weren't

protective of themselves.

When I saw it affecting Jo, how

...bad it affected Jo and J.D. And.

Adam, and I was like, "it's not.

...helping them that I'm

minimizing this. "

It was just so much easier on

everybody if I just faced what.

was happening, stopped blaming.

...myself, and f***ing

dealt with it.

I call my new band the Julie

ruin because it's kind.

...of an outgrowth of the

solo project I did in '99.

It's really just different in.

...that I'm not trying to

write anthems or anything.

I'm just writing songs and.

...letting them be what

they want to be.

Don't go away

don't go away

I feel embarrassed when

people come up and tell me that.

I matter to them or something.

...like that and sort of like have

all these people put on this.

...show and, like, do covers

of songs that I've sung.

It feels, like, overwhelming and.

...haven't really been

able to grasp it.

Just all I've been through over.

...the past few years in getting my.

...diagnosis so close to the show.

It's just when I was really sick,

I would sit around and be...

...like, imagine people being

supportive and loving, 'cause I

...never let that in before.

And I had to learn how to do.

...that because I was so

sick for five years.

And now it's, like, gonna be

physical, like, I'm actually.

...gonna go to this place, and all.

...these people are just gonna be.

...totally loving and

supporting me.

And it's...

It's overwhelming.

With the illness stuff, it means.

...this extra thing that only

my friends know about.

So, it's weird to be going to.

...this public event, where, like...

...people don't really know

what I've been through.

Yeah.

Is everything turned off that

nothing's gonna blow up?

Is it something inessential

when I cannot hear you talk?

Is it something sentimental?

Over here, over here.

Double dare ya

double dare ya

double, triple f***ing

dare ya, girlfriend

double dare ya

double dare ya

double dare ya, girl

I just want to read this

very special text by Kathleen.

This is called "riot

grrrl manifesto. "

"Because us girls crave records

and books and fanzines that.

...speak to us, that we feel

included in and can understand.

...in our own ways, because I

believe with my whole heart...

...mind, body that grrrls

constitute a revolutionary soul.

...force that can and will

change the world for real. "

Thank you, Kathleen Hanna!

All right, kids,

are you ready?

Ladies and gentlemen,

the Julie ruin!

Hey, everybody.

Thank you so much for coming.

This is a really

special night for me.

So, we're the Julie ruin, and

we're writing a new album.

Are you guys ready?

Yeah.

What is the story of my life?

I have no f***ing idea.

I just think there's this

certain assumption that when a.

...man tells the truth,

it's the truth.

And when as a woman I go to tell.

...the truth, I feel like I have to.

...negotiate the way

I'll be perceived.

Like, I feel like there's always.

...the suspicion around a women's.

...truth, the idea that

you're exaggerating.

I don't just sit there and be.

...like, "this, this,

this, this, this. "

There's this whole fear that

I'm gonna have finally f***ing.

...stepped to the plate and told

the truth, and someone's gonna.

...say, "eh, I don't think so. "

Ar-ar-ar-ar-armageddon

If I wouldn't have admitted

to myself that, like, the.

...sexual-abuse stuff that happened

in my life, it wasn't just...

...like, one thing that happened

when I was little and also how

...my dad treated me and

blah, blah, blah.

It was like all of these

different things.

Like, I would never want to tell

everybody the whole, entire.

...story, because it sounded crazy.

It sounded just like too big of.

...a can of worms, like,

who would believe me?

And then I was like, "other

women would believe me. "

I don't give a sh*t

what people think.

I know what's real.

I don't care if people don't.

...think feminism is important,

because I know it is.

And I don't care if people don't.

...think late-stage lyme disease

exists because I have it, and.

...other people have it, and we.

...help each other, and

we know it exists.

And other people can think

whatever they want.

My problem is when people get.

...in the way of feminism or people.

...get in the way of people who are.

...sick getting better, because

they don't understand it.

And if they don't want to

believe in it, or they don't.

want to care about it, that's

totally fine, but they should.

...have to stay out of my way.

I hear you talk, talk

but I can tell you're more

histrionic than historical

you're just a fake

well-read, super-mean girl

I don't want anywhere

near my world

and if anti-you means anti-us.

I guess we just bit the

dust 'cause in reverse.

...it's still a f***ing pageant

oh, so cursed,

not real magic
