“Sexism is more socially acceptable than racism,” said Jennifer Lawless, of American University. Multiple women, in fact, brought up a couple of examples from Hillary’s 2008 campaign. One was the low-grade sexism of some in the mainstream media. (MSNBC’s Chris Matthews is still considered the worst offender, with his “Nurse Ratched” crack and gripes about Hillary’s “cackle.”) Then there were the two hecklers at a New Hampshire rally who waved signs and chanted, “Iron my shirt!” Clinton laughed it off, and the incident was reported mostly as dumbass 20-something guys acting like dumbass 20-something guys. But if someone had yelled an equivalently demeaning remark at Obama—like, say, “Shine my shoes!”—the public response likely would have been very different.

Bareefooted ... Apparently ...
The author Michelle Cottle most likely has also seen this one on the intertubes.
This type of crap is just the tip of the iceberg.

Peracles ... Ah yes... Season of the Witch...
Penned by the same man who wrote the following. He was a regular hanger-out at the old Topanga Corral when our band played there in the late 60s /early 70s. He never performed but he was a regular. Very sweet man.

I went to see him in concert in France in 1984. You'll never guess who opened for him --
Santana! Everyone was wondering who he was.

This is my favorite "voice of God, hand on your neck/tingling spine" opus. (if you listen close, you'll find him giving away his Marashi Krishna-like chanting a bit too much at one point, at least compared to other versions).
Butthole Surfers version not bad either.
