Singer-songwriter Holly Near reveals her professional triumphs and setbacks and her personal side, detailing her childhood, her activism, her emerging lesbianism, and her role in women's music
Folksinger Near tells how she abandoned early show-biz aspirations in favor of political activism, established her own Redwood record label and ``came out'' as a lesbian. ``Many of Near's observations . . . lean heavily on leftist rhetoric,'' said PW. However, ``She brings an insider's perceptions to ongoing debates, about separatism and the like, within the gay community.'' Photos.
