Song 808: This week the playlist puts the spotlight on Pregnant and in Jail by Carol Denney, who also wrote the song, and you can find a YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. Seven weeks after my previous personal friend song post, this week's capturing anthem comes from one of my Berkeley song mates and former housemates. I first heard her do a set at a pizza joint there in late 1978, a few months after I had gotten a lift to the West Coast, and I really liked what I heard. I soon had the pleasure of developing a friendship with her, and I let her know how much I enjoyed hearing her musical excursions. Later we would become housemates for a few years before I had to return to the East Coast in September of 1988. We have kept in touch, and I've had the pleasure of hearing her more recent compositions. In fact, not long ago, a copy of her latest CD arrived in my mail box, and among the interesting rides on it, my current housemate and I chuckled a bunch of times when we got to hear the record's title track. Of course we both understand that a woman scorned in one thing since she can get pretty mad but maybe these male supremacist types don't know that if you all get in her way she's going to kick your butt!
