The Activism and Legacy of Bev Ditsy

We say, you will be saying that, isn't it? She will be saying that. I am here, I am here at the moment.

She's going to say gay rights are human rights. This is Simon. That's me. I really loved him.

Sometimes I hated him. He changed my life. Shami, you know Philip died.

I think two years ago or something. He lost a lot of people. You know, one day I'm not going to go to the march because of all these people that have gone and...

This is the last time Simon and I were together. We met him. Yeah, he was one of the big organisers.

He died of... AIDS complications a week later. It was interesting how he pulled out all these mags and books and, you know, put on the video, said, hey, remember all this.

Even for me it felt like, oh. wow you know because these are some of the things I tried to forget. I also remember she's actually coming next year here. Yeah?

For ILGA conference. Just some of the things he remembered that I did or some of the things he didn't remember. You know he didn't remember whether it was me that went with him to a particular place you know and I thought okay. Yeah because the tab people.

Oh the late. Don't you get to touch it. Oh my god.

On the one hand, you kind of think, OK, is it his illness? On the other hand, I'm thinking, but how could he have forgotten that? It didn't mean as much to him as it did for me, I suppose. My name is Bev. I grew up in Orlando, West Soweto.

People look out for each other here, and there's a deep respect for religion, tradition and culture. So it's not easy to be different. I was raised by my grandma and my grandpa, because my mom was usually away on tour. I discovered my love for music from my mom.

She was one of the best singers of her time, and I always dreamt of being a singer just like her. That's me. That's me on TV. Hey, girls, come see this.

That's me. My first song was called Captured by Love. I was 12 years old. Oh no, I don't believe I'm going to do this.

Oh no, I don't believe I'm going to do this. This is embarrassing. Just take note, I am embarrassed to be doing this. Right.

I was a happy child growing up, but I always felt like something was wrong. wrong with me. I hated it when my grandma forced me into little dresses. My mom used to say that God started making me before lunch and when he came back he had forgotten whether he was making a boy or a girl.

Somebody help to find the key. It's lost and I don't know where it is. I'm trapped and I can't run away. Somebody something help.

When I was 10, my mom had a role in a TV drama. One day she took me along for an audition and I was very proud when they cast me as her son rather than her daughter. Although I was very young I remember the youth riots that began on June 16 1976. I remember the fear, the tear gas and the screaming. I didn't know Simon then.

He was a student leader at his school in Cebu Geng when he was arrested for the first time. They came to pick me. I was tiny little.

My school uniform finished in the prison cell. I wanted education so badly, but I wouldn't really go with the system of education then. And I think that's why our slogan was Freedom Now and Education Later.

We really wanted to be free. Fighting with the national government. I don't know which government I've never fought with.

The old one and the new one I'm still fighting. While he was fighting those battles, I was just beginning with mine. Girls at school were falling in love with boys and I wasn't interested. My confusion started when I realized that I was the only one I knew who liked girls more than boys.

I didn't know words like gay or lesbian. I just thought that I was very odd. That's when I started to feel the loneliness.

In 1985, someone was picked up with his best friend Rina Mailindi at an activist funeral in Sibukeng Township. The state was detaining every leader throughout the country. Then I was alone between ten policemen.

And I was just quiet, you know, like I just see Cebu came from a distance. And I was, you know, goodbye to my home. You know, everybody was confused. Some people were injured.

You know, they were beating people. You know, like they were not human beings. And, you know, I thought I was just going to be interrogated and be left.

How stupid I was to think that. Simon and Glina were amongst 22 activists that were charged with treason. They all spent the next three years in jail without any idea of their fate.

There was so much emotion. These people were on trial for their lives. The state wanted to have them executed.

Their trial was known as the Delmas Treason Trial and became one of the most high profile cases in the history of South Africa. And while on trial for his life, Simon announced to his fellow trialists that he was a gay man. Against all their wishes, he went public with this information. One of the accused had said that we can't be seen. to be on trial with people who are embarrassing us and our organizations and so on.

And why did they put such people together with us? Simon was totally without fear and totally transparent, you know, and prepared to be himself at all costs. It was during this time that Simon wrote many letters to Roy.

Roy darling, it's not wise to be on your own for such a long time, especially when you feel down. Dear Roy, I am trying this silly method to get this letter to you before they could censor it. It was nice to speak to him.

He told me how worried you are about me. But I am much more worried about you than I am about myself. I was an activist because of Simon, because Simon answered my amazing needs.

And the fact that he was fighting apartheid, which I had been brought up in my spirituality to know was against the will of God. My sort of integrity, the center of me came together in Simon. And the fellowship that I knew around that trial was something I'd never experienced in my life. As word of the trial spread, support poured in from many parts of the world.

Simon started to become a gay hero. Give me a plate, please. One evening I was doing the dishes in the kitchen and Boy George was on the radio. My sister said, hey, if he's gay, that must mean you are gay.

I was so excited that I didn't think before I burst into the lounge and said, hey, I'm gay. Bad mistake. And then after I told you, I said, Mom, I'm gay.

Yeah, it was a shock. And then we wanted to know the explanation of gay, because what we knew is there's something called, you know, two ways. I'm a hermaphrodite.

When you're sick, there's no such thing. When you're sick, you're not able to eat. So, you can't do anything.

If you're sick, you can't help others. If you're sick, you can't do anything. There are two things.

So, when you're sick, there's no such thing. From that day I was made to feel dirty and guilty all the time. But I couldn't just lie and pretend to be like everyone else.

Nothing made sense. Later that year, I attempted suicide. The Delmas treason trial finally ended in 1988 and five of the accused, including Dina, were sentenced to life imprisonment on Robben Island.

Simon and the other 16 were acquitted. A year later the whole thing was declared a mistrial and everyone was set free. But while Simon was in prison, he found out that he had another life sentence.

HIV. All these things, I don't understand why you want to throw them out. They've got nice memories. Well, some of these memories are painful, you know.

Especially when you know people are not around. Angry. Little girl has dreams. She wants to learn to fly.

She wants to be an engineer. I never told her that she was a woman. I mean, being a woman and knowing from an early age that I had no choice about where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do, you know. I mean I was always being told what a beautiful wife I'm gonna make for so and so.

I wasn't brought up ever to be just me, Bev. Whatever it is I want to do with my life, do, you know? and just learning the rules of what I can do and what I can't do because I'm a girl. While they laugh when she tells them And slowly her hopes die And slowly she dies Like all her sisters around the world Who gave up on everything for a man? Don't cry little boy...

Even though Simon was acquitted, he was still forbidden to meet with more than three people at a time. He went ahead anyway and called together a group of gays and lesbians to form GLOW, the gay and lesbian organization of Witwatersrand. A friend of mine told me about that meeting. I didn't know what to expect, but I didn't hesitate. That was the day I met Simon.

For the first time, I was happy. I was home. I was born gay.

And I'm proud of it. I want all of you to be proud to be what you are. That's all I can say. From that day my life transformed. I just blossomed.

There were meetings, rallies and parties all the time. I found what I'd been looking for, a place to belong. I now had friends and a political space to express myself where I didn't have to explain anything to anyone. Simon and I clicked immediately. He was so easy going and inspirational.

Simon was an extraordinary package of a lot of different things. He could be coy and coquettish. He could be a rampant queen. He could be petulant and spiteful and mean.

He could also be immensely generous. And above all, he had vision and courage. Oh Bev, he was short. Loving and caring. Always laughing, always making jokes, wherever he was you'll never see somebody crying.

So he loved attention? Yes! He did, yeah. He doesn't...

but he thrived on it, I guess. This business of going on the dance floor for three hours flat, you know... He just had such incredible energy about every...

everything that he did. It's just the easy way in which he just took me into his life. You know, like a little sister.

He just pulled me in, right in, and didn't mind me. calling at any time, didn't mind me coming over, sleeping over. You know? Pour me a drink. I want to appear to be drinking. I'll pour you a drink, my dear.

That's nice. Mix it with that one of yours. Mix it with the orange one. Yeah, orange one.

I don't know, maybe I should give grandkids, but I can't give them the whole thing. No, make a copy. Because it was a nice speech.

It was. I won an award for that speech. You've not been invited to New York.

I was invited to Glasgow, I didn't go because I was sick. But wait until I get better, maybe I'm going back to the world. The second track I'm sitting in here. Absolutely, Simon. Nelson Mandela was finally released from prison and all political parties were unbanned.

Because of Simon's contact with him and other Delmas leaders, we were confident that the ANC would support us. It was in this climate of expectation that GLOW made its first public statement and Simon initiated the first gay and lesbian Pride march. We didn't know whether people would come or not. We were really terrified there would only be a few of us and that we would be attacked while marching in the street.

Homosexuality is a sin against God. Homosexuality is a curse on the nation. Homosexuality leads to eternity in hell.

I'm not a man. I don't expect another man to stick with me. I can't make love to another man. Where do we want Jessica?

They have no right to do this. Because we as Christians believe it is a big sin. We are not harassing the people here because some of them do not want to be recognized. We live in a homophobic society, this is why we are marching.

We want to change this. This meeting and this march today have a message. We have a message to all the lawmakers of South Africa, a message to all the constitution makers of South Africa. That message is the criminal law is for criminals. Gays and lesbians are not criminals.

Today the world is going to know that we here in South Africa have been oppressed for too long. We can't stand it anymore. Why do we have to fight for the right to love who we want to love?

This is about time and today we're making history. This is what I say to my comrades in the struggle who ask me why I waste time fighting for Morpheus. And this is what I say to white gay men or women who ask me why I spend so much time talking about apartheid, when I should be fighting for gay rights.

I am black. And I'm gay. I cannot separate the two parts of me into secondary or primary struggle.

They will be all one struggle. When I heard that speech, I was so in awe of Simon. I knew then that I wanted to work alongside him to get gays and lesbians legally recognized in the new South Africa. Everybody has equal rights and everybody is protected by the law.

Come to Jesus! Come to Jesus! Thank you Father! You know what?

This is bullshit. Bullshit. The significance is that we are proud of who we are and we want to show the world that we're proud, that's all.

Out of the streets! Out of the garbage! Out of the streets! Out of the garbage! Ha ha!

Yes, ha ha! I've got the guitar on my big head! Yeah! Yeah!

And the first-place lesbian and gay people, Biga, Biga, Biga! We are feeling so great and we think people are going to appreciate us as we are because God created us. I'm very happy, you know, I feel like crying, I feel like just tearing my clothes off, I don't know, I'm just like so happy. We've succeeded and it was our first march and it was very, very successful. Someone, look at me!

I was so radical! I was so radical! Oh my God, look at Diane!

Look at Diane! Oh and Kim! Phoebe is right there! My brother! Oh my Lord!

We're all older than that now, cause it's 10 years! Yeah, it's 10 years! Oh man, where are all these people? Nicky, this was the most beautiful day.

Diet or something? This was the most beautiful day. Or became straight?

Others are still around. Same. You remember they stole that band? They stole it. Oh, my little lover.

That first Pride was one of the best days of my life. But I was on TV that night. It was a religious show and a priest was saying, these people should be killed.

All of a sudden I was getting funny looks from people in the street. I thought, oh oh, what have I done? Two days later, I was sitting in my room when I heard voices outside calling my name. I ran into the lounge and my granny opened the door and told me to hide. About 20 angry men were surrounding our house, demanding that I come with them so they could teach me a lesson.

The worst thing was that they threatened to take my grandma if I didn't go with them. I was very happy to see my mother. I was very happy to see one of you.

I was very happy to see my mother. I was very happy to see my mother. I was very happy to see my mother.

I was very happy to see my father. I was angry, but mostly at myself. I shouldn't have made that speech. Now I put my whole family in danger.

I was so terrified that I couldn't leave the house for weeks. In terms of sexual violence and violence against women and the way women are treated here, as soon as you're anywhere, you've got a dangerous element right there. You're always looking out for yourself. anything could happen anytime, you know? Rape, being beat up, just being treated like shit, being excluded, you know, things.

But coming out as a lesbian is even harder because then you are putting yourself in a firing line. Any angry man will use his machismo to try and prove to you that you're straight. Although he's proving absolutely nothing, because all he's doing is actually raping you and making you hate men. When actually, you know, that's not what it's about at all. It's about loving women.

It came a point where you couldn't walk alone to the taxis, where I used to take you halfway all the time. Where you had to be escorted. And I didn't care what they were saying. To me it was like, talk, but nobody's going to touch you. There wasn't much Lowe could do to help me then.

In fact, Simon said it would be better if I just moved out of Soweto. The best thing that could have happened did. Instead of being rejected, I had gained my family's full support. Simon and I became co-chairs of GLOW.

We became a team. Our country was drafting a new constitution, and as GLOW, we wanted to make sure that gays and lesbians were included. We did everything we could.

We ran workshops, organized more pride marches, wrote articles, and made many public appearances. Please, the co-chair of GLOW, the gay and lesbian organization of the Bit Butters Round, the beautiful Beverly Talessa Ditsy. I go out on the streets, demonstrate, hold placards and things like this. What would you say to it? I would say to those people, the reason why it is said that it is un-African to be gay is because no one in those days actually spoke about it.

And if we keep quiet about it, 30 years, 40, 50 years from now... There's the next generation that's going to keep saying the exact same thing, that we don't exist, and it's because they didn't speak out. He was my mentor and my teacher, so of course I wanted to prove that I'm learning.

I'm learning, so I would ace everything that he would say, Bev, if you could do X, Y, I will do X, Y and Z. You know, I wanted to please him. The newly formed National Coalition for Gay and Lesbian Equality, together with GLOW, was making good progress with a constitutional campaign.

Even government officials, who until now had refused to negotiate, agreed to a dialogue. When the police forum started in 1994, they called us. Bev and I went to meet Sidney Mafunga and to tell them what we want the policemen to treat us like.

I started to join Simon on his overseas trips. I was meeting new people, visiting other organisations, and I was very inspired by how other lesbians were living their lives. He was incredible.

I mean, he made me challenge myself. You know, he made me wonder how far I could go as well. How much I could take.

I took the visibility campaign one step further and auditioned for an experimental reality TV show called the Live Wire Communal. something like Big Brother but without the million at the end. Eight very different people were thrown together in this luxurious commune and formed for six months.

Fevers in the house. I've got a problem with you. Sexual preferences are pretty important to me. And you didn't let me know.

I didn't let anyone know. But everybody knew. I don't like those type of people. If I'm going to be acting weird to you, you must understand. I mean, look at you, you're a black gay activist.

It's like we're talking about way different, okay? Way different. I used to beat up gays, you know, because as far as I'm concerned they don't belong on earth, you know.

They're wrong, they're naturally screwed up, okay. That's heavy. But that's the way I see life. I hope for you to try and make me see different.

How am I going to make you see different? At this stage, you know. I mean, we got along in the beginning, you know.

Now, I don't even want to be near you, okay? I want to say this, right? I'm here.

And I'm going to stick it out for the six months. You know? So if we're going to be avoiding each other in corridors just because of who I love deeply, then, you know, I mean, it's not going to work out, Leroy. Okay. Because it's not like I hate men.

Dude, I don't hate men. Please, get that straight. You did not hate men. I don't hate men.

I don't feel that radical, okay? But I personally feel that being homosexual is like a bit mentally retarded. It's the way that I look at life. You know that's a likeable person but at least don't avoid them and don't make them feel like an asshole. You never said you was gonna...

I never said I was gonna avoid it. I can understand. I can care. How many times have we black people been walking into places and been looked at strangely?

Do you know how I look? No, it's exactly the same thing, man. It is the exact same thing.

You walk into a... a place and you get looked at strangely. People look down on you just because of the colour of your skin.

It's been happening generations and generations all over the f***ing world. Right? And now I'm going to say something and he's going to look at me strangely and act strangely and I must accept it?

The fact that you're a human being who has other passions in your life, who has other people in your life that you love and care about, who has the same dreams and goals, you know, to be happy and to be loved, and that whole discrimination... even still confuses me. But I was fighting so much to try and prove that I am not different to you. And that's not all it's about.

I don't lesbian for a living. In the end, Leroux and I became friends. He even gave me his guitar. The closer we came to the signing of the Constitution, the greater the opposition to our cause. We're here today because we believe it is a blatant sin that not only defiles a person, but defiles a nation.

And because of that cause, God will withdraw His blessing from the country. Our African neighbor was the most vocal in his opposition. If we accept homosexuality as a right, As is being argued by the Association of Sodomists and Sexual Turbans, what moral fiber shall our society ever have to deny organized drug addicts, or even those given to bestiality?

Bev Didsey joined the human rights protest that greeted Robert Mugabe when he arrived in South Africa. And we are gay and we are not criminals and we do not deserve to be called all those names. We love you!

Let them be gay in the United States, in Europe and elsewhere. There shall be sad people here. But I mean today we are here to show the world that we are here and we are African and we are gay.

Simon and I had worked together for six years now. We had fought hard to get where we were. Yet there were times where I felt that he didn't acknowledge me.

And I mean no matter how many other people kind of say he was so proud of you, he loved you so much, I never did hear that. So it's always a question in my mind how he actually... really felt about me because I adored him.

Here's my speech. This is what I said. I came here representing the gay and lesbian organization based in Johannesburg. Remember they were giving us only two minutes. How many people were you speaking to?

Do you remember? Because it was more than a million that was mentioned. They were mentioned. And here is it. This is a non-Rishabh movement.

But here, there, I think I did exaggerate. Three thousand members, because... That's me.

Oh, my voiceover. Yeah, this is my speech....post-event love. They speak of a constitutional, democratic political order in which regardless of color, gender, religion, political opinion, or sexual orientation, their law will provide for the equal protection of all of our citizens.

It was absolutely exhilarating. It was the first constitution in the history of the world that actually mentioned sexual orientation. We were accepted by our government. Actually, our government, the people that kind of ruled and make the rules, said, you are okay. Nobody should touch you.

No one can touch you. We had won the constitutional battle but the fight wasn't over. An even bigger enemy was facing the country. AIDS. Okay, now I'm seeing a lot of hands so I don't know...

When Simon set up the Township AIDS Project, I joined him as an AIDS educator with the vision of focusing on lesbian... and AIDS. It was during this time that I saw that lesbians and gays were dealing with very different issues.

Tell us, tell us how. I felt that the gay men men, especially within GLOW, were not really caring very much about what became big lesbian issues like lesbian rape, which increased at one point, you know, where lesbians would be targeted for rape. I was living that life of being afraid to be in the streets.

She was raped, you understand? To go anywhere. So I wanted to be heard.

A lot of lesbians were there. When I came back to the toilet, this man came and grabbed me. He said, I'm sorry. Okay, no, I want to talk to you. I said, no, you can't talk to me.

I'm with my partner. Then, what do you give me now? Don't tell me that. He said, no, I'm your partner.

I said, no, I'm not your partner. He said, no, I'm not your And I was close to him and as a lesbian I was the closest to him at that time. So I expected to be heard, I expected for him to respect where I was coming from. I was invited to the Fourth World Conference on Women to be held in Beijing.

Some GLOW members didn't support me going, but I knew that the conference would address some of the issues facing us. So I went to talk to Simon about this. He was asking, you know, what relevance is this?

You know, and for somebody who talks non-sexist, non-racist, non-non-non, for him to ask me that was very disappointing. And then, of course, I said, well, I'm going anyway because, you know, it's a woman's conference and, I mean, lesbian's a woman. Not good.

No good luck, no goodbye, no nothing. It ain't working. It ain't working, you and me, baby it ain't working, I'm sad to say. Bev Ditsia became the first out lesbian to address a United Nations conference where she argued for the recognition of the rights of women.

of sexual orientation. I urge you to make this a conference for all women, regardless of their sexual orientation, and to recognize in the Platform for Action that lesbian rights are women's rights, and that women's rights are universal, inalienable, and indivisible human rights. I urge you to remove the brackets from sexual orientation.

Thank you. That speech was my highest achievement and my saddest moment. While I was on that podium, I knew that I was going to leave Glow.

I came back and I was a hero, but inside I felt the opposite. Beverly, you made history at the United Nations Conference. Very briefly, just tell us about it. At the government forum, we found out that we might have a chance to have a say. Sweetheart, it ain't worth it.

And I'm sad to say... And you've hurt me too much It ain't working No, no, it ain't working It ain't working, it ain't working, it ain't working, it ain't working. I left the movement and began to focus on other areas of my life.

Hello, kisses, hugs, this is your boy. Hi, how you doing? Where are you from? Rockville, Kimville, Brooklyn, I'll rise up in a 12-month honey party. I mean, I, as a native.

Yeah. Oh, baby. Baby.

Give that was our call. Give that was our call. Oh, baby.

I'm dragging down my cycle Either here nor there Somewhere in the middle, maybe not Uptown, downtown, non-stop, massive talk Tiptoe, hello, kisses, hugs This is your boy, how you doing? We had lunch with Simon, his mom, Graham Reed, and some visitors. Some women used to call me a lipstick lesbian, even before I started wearing lipstick.

A visiting researcher interviewed me about my past and also spoke to my friend, Bailis. I'm very happy that I met a person like Pepe because if it wasn't her, I wouldn't be standing here. and have said what I said, instead I would be dead.

But she saved my life. In my mind, she was a picture of victory. And she fought for...

All lesbians and gays and... I'm gonna... take from where she did give up.

Amen. I'm going to be a flower that doesn't fade for my lesbian sisters and my gay brothers. I realized that some of these people have been a part of my most formative years of my life.

I thought, yeah, I can't just be angry and cut everybody out like that. Out of the blue, someone called to invite me to Glow's 10th anniversary picnic. I was so happy. I couldn't miss that.

Thank you. It's very nice seeing you today. I hope I'll see you more often. I think I'll join the event soon.

Thank you so much. I don't know what to do. One, two, one, two.

I think we're very lucky in South Africa to be talking today after ten years of our struggle. I mean, it's ten years. I'm talking... about when Glow was formed because there was nothing, nothing was happening before then. It's actually a very significant tree for me.

It symbolizes the This is for those people living with HIV. We have about 25 law members passed away in the past 10 years. It is really sad that so many people have lost their lives.

Simon fooled me in on what he'd been doing since we last saw each other. Look, she's wearing a pirate's t-shirt. He told me that he'd started a new business.

AIDS organization, the Positive African Men's Project. I just closed my project where I was doing HIV and AIDS education for people living with HIV and for people who are not living with HIV. The government refuses to give me funding.

Five of my applications were turned down and I was very upset. It bounces back. Yeah, it bounces back.

Now I'm not afraid to say I'm going to die of HIV and AIDS. In the world, people die of anything. You can die of. You can just walk in the street.

So when there is life, use it. Oh, come on! First attempt!

Damn! First attempt! Yes! Who's first?

Who's first? That's not a big deal. The other team is on Twitter. Oh no! No!

No! No! It's not in! He got it!

Brian got it! Brian got that ball. You need to see how many chances he has. Brian got that ball.

Look at that. Look at that. Oh my god!

Oh my god! Just one more! Look at him, he was about to cry! He was gonna cry!

Someone was gonna cry! Okay, now I got to see who scored it. He was gonna cry!

He was gonna cry! He was gonna cry! I just needed one goal.

I know you're not gonna go to the final, but I just needed one. One, just one! You just can't say that, Ben.

You get him, and I'll get him. When Father JP Heath came to me at St Mary's Chapel and said, Simon is dying, then I realised that this guy was just intrinsically part of me. I even thought there would be a remote chance that he would open his eyes and say, hello Bev, just so that I could say, I love you Simon. Thank you. You know, for having been there for me.

Sorry we broke up. I was angry with you. I love you.

And I mean, I was alone with him. Peter walked out, Roddy walked out, and I mean I held his hand and I said these things, but I kept wishing he would open his eyes. But he was gone by then.

He was completely unconscious. And on this World AIDS Day we report the death of gay rights and AIDS activist Tseko Simon Kordi, who died of AIDS complications yesterday afternoon. 41-year-old Nkordi, a former Delmas treason trialist, was the founder of the gay organization... Waiting to be worn Many lives have passed away We are the luckiest generation of lesbians and gays.

to have had such a fearless, selfless, visionary for a leader. Because Simon gave power to the people, and he gave power especially to lesbians and gays. Thank you, Simon. Joy, peace and happiness, joy, peace and joy. May I be blessed to have known him.

And I will forever be grateful to the Almighty for having known Simon and for having had a mentor like Simon for me. I am me because of him. We are all we because of him. I know his soul.

He will rest in peace. He did his work, and he did it beautifully. I thank you.

Pride 1999. The 10th Pride Parade was a massive tribute to Simon. This is a big trip for us. Don't forget that wine.

Alright, babe! Everyone was there, including the usual protesters. Jesus Christ, my friend, you have no forgiveness of sin.

We are dying in the judgement of God, the day which commits us to sin. We should come to our churches and know how we feel and who we are, what we're doing, what we don't do as gay Christians. It is an abomination to God Almighty. The cool thing was that I fell in love again. I led the first one, I'm documenting the tenth one.

That's wicked, right? That's wicked! It was incredible to see over 20,000 people stop to celebrate the new street name. I missed him terribly. And there's nobody to tell you what to do or what to say.

Don't you know, don't you know, you are not the one. Don't you know. Oh, don't you know, you are not the one.

My friend with eggs is still my friend. My sister with eggs is still my sister. My brother with eggs is still my brother.

My mother with eggs is still my mother. School girls in the house! School boy in the house! School boy in the house! Why do people walk around and say Why do they don't?

Why do people... Why do people walk around in shame? Don't they know they're not wrong?

Why do people walk around in pain? Don't they know that they're strong? Watching people walking in and out, all over the place.
