My TV show had been cancelled; nothing else had gone anywhere; some alliances I had made petered out and nothing came of them and I was looking at a long, long year ahead of me in which there was no work on the horizon, the phone wasn't ringing.

So many women have experienced horrific forms of male violence throughout their lives, and why isn't there a song about how you get depressed because of it? ↗
