Goonies is my vision for how I'd like to raise my kids, inquisitive, exploratory, curious, and [mostly] without rules [like when I was a kid in the 80's]. I think your music heavily contributed to how I think about what that movie was about. It kind of shaped it, in spirit and step. In fact, I kind of think goonies was kind of like the catcher in the rye of movies, and your music embodies the rebellious questioning spirit. Since I re-watch goonies [more than I'd like to admit], I think of your music often, and it makes me smile.

Also, great interview with Alan Cummings the other day, so nice to hear how you're evolving with your creative practice, and are committed to the art and craft of performance. And that airport thing from some years back was magical, no questions, just saying You rock!

Since we're on the topic of gender in higher ed... In the humanities [for example] women, people of color and LGBTQI have been historically underrepresented, and only now are more accepted into FT faculty ranks. In fact, most faculty searches explicitly recruit for these non- SWM hegemonic perspectives.

So, in the sciences, where things are still much more disproportionate, and lets say there are ... 5% are Female faculty, and 95% Male Faculty across institutions [?], and where women are graduating with advanced degrees in the sciences at say 20+% [real number unknown], and while FTF hiring will increasingly be female, are you optimistic about these big institutions "allowing" for a more balanced gender split? why or why not?
