3 Questions - Alice Bag
1. When reading "Death to Racism and Punk Revisionism," I found it particularly striking that Bag found that her early music carried "the influence of Mexican/Chicano musical culture" such as cancion ranchera without conscious intention. I'm curious to what that realization looked like and at what point it came?
2. In watching Alice Bag videos and reading about performances, there's a lot of reference to this "furious onstage power" that Bag's brings to the music. Im wondering what its like to stumble into so much internal power in the creation process and if there have ever been times when Bag's was surprised by the emotion of previously unexpressed rage or ferociousness?
3. Since we studied Dia De Muertos and the way cultures are socialized to fear death, I'm curious about the expression of anger and the way that can often feel as societally unacceptable as talking about and acknowledging the reality of death? Did the open expression of anger always feel natural and okay? or is it something you had to work toward?
