I had a photo of Jane Goodall on my bedroom wall for a few weeks when i was a pre-teen and a photo of Soo Catwoman on my desk for a few weeks when i was a teenager. I looked up to them both for activating my sense of hope in possibilities beyond the constraints of convention.
Jane was real-life Dr. Doolittle, talking to the animals and Soo was someone from a favourite book i had as a child, “Where The Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak.
I loved punk rock and Soo Catwoman on the cover of a magazine drew me in but I was 10 or 11 in 1976 and that’s also when I heard Be-Bop Deluxe and was drawn into that as well. I also loved disco at age 10 or 11. My friends and I had bands when I was that age. We made quite a racket sometimes.
