Unfortunately, nobody responded. Then he repeated his vamp and asked the question again . Another especially awkward silence followed. Then a well dressed young man with a pleasant face stood up. He “chimed in” with a mechanical voice, “TEEN AGE MU TANT NIN JA TUR TLE”- reciting each syllable with exactly the same emphasis.
The folk singer was flummoxed so he sang the song again. At the vamp, he asked exactly the same question. Another boy raises his hand and says very quietly, “MOMMY”
Clearly, things were moving in the wrong direction. Not only was “reality” being overlooked he was having to make a “side pass” over “gender”!
