They ordered some chicken and then continued down pennsylvania avenue and entered the white house, which they found unlocked. It of course had been abandoned in the previous hours. The servants at all left. Entering it in the dining room, they found the great feast Dolly Madison had ordered for the evening. Needless to say, they did not hesitate to health themselves to it. This is one of those remarkable stories that is actually quite true. Wined and dined at the white house, and they set the place of fire. Fire. They went through with gunpowder paste and rubbed that on the doorframes and around the windows. Chairsthered a number of and flammable material and created little bonfires. They set drapes a fire. Pretty soon the entire building was up in flames. Some of the british soldiers actually felt a sense of regret about it

Something that the really vicious antidisco campaign drove home. So it seems to me weve started building the idea that post60s, American Music still is politicized, still is engaged but in a different way, a way that rejected, as we saw with david bowie or we saw with hoople, that rejected countercultural rock. Thats where i want to go today in talking, as i promised, about issues of women in popular music in the 1970s. Weve already dealt with this before in thinking about the very limited place accorded to women in popular music as a business, as performers really with the idea that women couldnt place instruments, that they could only sing. Weve seen thats deeply embedded in western culture, western ideas. And yet this is a period in the 1970s of real change in thinking about women. So theres an opportunity for us to say just
