I’m gonna sing you something depressing about my history with, um, sex work. And being a child. It’s about my history of sex work and my history as a child. You can imagine what the subject matter is going to be. Okay, so, let’s… Let’s start from the beginning. Here’s how I used to introduce this song, when I was playing it on a regular basis at house shows, and concerts, and events. This is how this song would be introduced.
…
Imagine… In, like, ten years, that I’m Lady Gaga famous. I want you to imagine a world where Kate Nyx’s name is on everyone’s lips. Everyone! Everyone is pumped for Kate Nyx. I’m like– I am, I am beyond Katy Perry. I am Lady Gaga/Madonna level famous. So, it’s a big night. I am about to host a huge concert in Philadelphia. And there’s a big, red velvet curtain. And a single spotlight, and a vintage microphone on the stage. And I come out in my super sparkly dress. I have, like, a sequined, sparkly dress. And I walk out with my guitar, and I walk up to the microphone. Put on my guitar. I walk up to the microphone. Single spotlight shining on me, everything else is dark. You can see the lights reflecting off of my dress, it’s like a disco ball. I walk up to the mic, and I say, “Who here’s been molested!?”
