| Margo Price You Don't Own Me You Don't Own Me (single) margoprice.bandcamp.com 2022 This Lesley Gore Hit was written by John Madara and David White. Margo Price: "I keep finding renewed meaning in the lyrics. During these times when some people confuse opinions with misinformation and censorship with free speech, not only is “You Don’t Own Me” a song about women’s liberation, but it is an anthem for anyone who is being marginalized or abused by systems of power." She wrote these comments in March. She probably has more to add now. - Margo Price will be at the Open Highway Music Festival on Saturday, July 30th at the Chesterfield Amphitheater on a bill which also includes Shovels and Rope, Hayes Carll, John Moreland, Funky Butt Brass Band, Western States, and Riley Holtz. |
