“The dress-up freaks are coming back, and it’s wonderful to watch.”

—  Amanda Palmer

As quoted in &quot;Amanda Palmer Freaks Out With Evelyn Evelyn&quot; by Scott Thill in WIRED (29 March 2010) http://www.wired.com/2010/03/amanda-palmer/ <br class="br">Context: Rock needs theater, rock is theater. We just go through different eras of guilty admission about this. Having risen with The Dresden Dolls in the heyday of The Strokes and The White Stripes, everyone was looking at us as completely misfit theater dorks. But it’s really encouraging to see a more theater-dork wave of bands like The Scissor Sisters, Antony &amp; The Johnsons, CocoRosie, Patrick Wolf and even Arcade Fire and Decembrists becoming popular. The dress-up freaks are coming back, and it’s wonderful to watch.

“They done
Wrong
Like ink from a busted pen
Thrown away 'cause of someone else
Used up
But he come back
Dressed in night
Fine as a king
With his queen
The wrong
Made right
So right.”
