I am well aware of that. It just fit the topic and was the only song I could think of. No statement on sexual orientation of any kind was intended.
I knew I should have put a smiley face in there. That way you'd know I was having fun not challenging.
There that's better.

Doh! Now I'm embarrassed

Joan refuses to change the lyrics to any song she sings, even if they were written/sung by a man. That song was originally performed by the Band. I know there are a few other songs by her with the same feature, but I can't think of any right now.

Good thing, that would require changing quite a few words and would tend to confuse. Not too many women named Virgil and I'm not sure if the women folk were chopping the firewood in those days, nor going to war.
When a song is written in the first person from a man's perspective a rewrite would have been awfully strange.

This thread needed some input. I was at work when I posted my comment about Joan, so when I got home I dropped Diamonds and Rust on the platter and heard these lyrics originally written and sung by John Prine
We had an apartment in the city,
Me and Loretta liked living there.
Well, it'd been years since the kids had grown,

Are you saying only women go food shopping in supermarkets?
This is off one of my favourite albums which I bought when it first came out in '79 but not once did I think this song should have been sung by a woman.

Fair enough, I can go with that.
First thing that came to my mind was a song from the first Garbage album (Shirley Manson was only meant to be a session singer originally so there were some songs already written intended for male singers) but can't for the life of me remember the song title. May be it'll come to me…
