Lately I’ve been asking for people’s opinions about my protest song “You Don’t Scare Me.”
.
My husband’s opinion is that “You Don’t Scare Me” is one of the best things I’ve ever written and it reminds him of “London Calling” by the Clash.
My son’s and ex-husband’s opinions are also very positive.
When I performed that song at a gathering at a local library I didn’t sense any negative opinions.
However, I feel nervous about people’s opinions when I show up tomorrow with my ukulele and that song outside the Orpheum Theatre in Boston where Rachel Maddow will be speaking.
In my opinion, that’s a pretty bold move, but I trust my ability to deal with other people’s opinions (even though negative opinions tend to stick).
What opinions do you have about the contents of this post?

Actually, the Daily Bitch’s opinion is helping me deal with any worries I have about other people’s opinions.
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “opinions.”

Thanks, beth!
Opinions, I have a lot of them. And I put them out there in barbarasbookhouse.com and publish it on Facebook, Twitter, and Bluesky. Always looking forward to someone disagreeing with me and up for a conversation about it, but I just get lots of positive feedback from my friends. I guess social media ain’t the place for in-depth discussion. Sigh.
Maybe people just don’t disagree with you, Barbara!
I’ve always liked the expression “Opinions are like armpits; most people have a couple and some of them stink.” Because it is possible to do something if you realize your armpits stink.
I should add that I don’t think any of your opinions stink. Mine might, though—it never hurts to check.
Your opinions never stink, my friend.
I’ve heard a similar saying about a different part of the body, with the number divided by two. I don’t have an opinion about which expression is better but I always value your opinion, Chris.
