“The Joplin connection also won #Thornton a huge hippy audience: Bill Graham regularly booked her to play Haight-Ashbury’s #Fillmore theatre and she appeared at #rock festivals, backed by members of the #GratefulDead on occasion.” #BigMamaThornton #music #MusicSky www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

#BigMamaThornton lived in collision — w/ whiteness that took & erased her; machismo scared of strong women; misogyny punishing anyone who wasn’t pleasant; & a racist system deciding who gets remembered. She was #QueerCoded, #unapologetic. She never softened her voice or made herself smaller. #Music

The Blueprint ✊🏾
If the next #Beyonce album (act iii) is indeed a rock & roll album as is rumored, I would love to see her pay tribute to #BigMamaThornton in some way, helping to reveal the roots of RnR music the way she did with Country & Western music with #CowboyCarter (act iii).
#BeyHive 💃🏾🎶🐝❤️🎸🙏🏾
