Jill Sobule has been kissing girls since before Katy Perry was even allowed to use cherry chapstick. So it was exciting enough that her ongoing tour has brought her through Arlington’s Iota Club, and even cooler when she agreed to meet me at its owner’s house the next day for a little impromptu duet/rewrite of her decidedly non-seminal classic “I Kissed a Girl.” And though its embarrassing to sing so poorly in front of Jill and punk elder statesmanJohn Doe, I can still say that this was a great way to spend a Saturday.
I first remember hearing “I Kissed a Girl” when I was 10 and already knowing that things were gonna be hard for me because I was gay. Having a song like that out there was a great way of normalizing who I was and making me excited about it. And now that I’ve kissed several boys myself I’m glad to know it never gets any less exciting.
Thanks, Jill!
