Lady Godiva

...was a freedom rider
She didn't care if the whole world looked.
Joan of Arc with the Lord to guide her
She was a sister who really cooked.

Isadora was the first bra burner
And you're glad she showed up. (Oh yeah)
And when the country was falling apart
Betsy Ross got it all sewed up.

what am i watching on netflixx now?

yep...good ol' maude. and just as any good norman lear-produced '70s sitcom (e.g., all in the family, good times, one day at a time, sanford and son, and mary hartman, mary hartman), the issues tackled on this series were pretty controversial in content for comedy serials back then. whether it was race, women's rights, politics, or the general mental makeup of our changing society, the abovementioned shows were pioneers in addressing things that were previously considered taboo in american television.

and maude findlay was a wise-cracking, fiercely independent feminist (and activist) who often made heckling men cower. even as a kid, i was fascinated by her caustic one-liners. plus, ya gotta love those early '70s outfits ;)
