Pity Bra

In March 2020 we went to go see Sleater-Kinney in Dublin
I was standing in the crowd and I saw Ciara making her way through the audience
And while I watched Corin sing to a full house
In the corner of my eye I saw Ciara’s arm raise up
She had taken Bev’s shirt right off her back and then hurled it towards the stage
Front and centre
We all watched in horror as it hit Corin Tucker in the head
But sure it got her attention
She asked, “Is that your band?” and proclaimed her admiration
Then Carrie asked why she never gets underwear thrown at her like the old rockstars
When someone offered to oblige
She said:

“I don’t want your pity bra!”
