Wireless Narrative : The Tube
Who: Cinnamon Girl
What: A rant about politics and Purebloods on The Tube, your own London Underground Wireless Station.
When: Late Thursday night
Where: The 'Tube' Studio... like she'll say, pshaw!
The Music:
The Raincoats: Lola
The Sex Pistols: God Save the Queen
"Okay, I'm not going to fib here; The Raincoats need to shave their legs, but their music is fab," came the chipper-sounding voice of the mystery DJ, Cinnamon Girl. "That song you just caught yourself swaying to was none other than 'Lola', and I don't really have the first clue what point it's trying to make, but there's definitely gender politics in there, and it's catchy, so who really cares about all that!
"Meanwhile, I'm afraid I've got to rant, my loves," she sighed. "You know what radio station you're listening to - The Tube, Underground, namecheck! We're all about ranting. Me? I don't do politics. They make me yawn, darlings, and when they don't make me yawn, they make me want to tie people to large boulders and drop them into the Thames, and homicidal thoughts really make my hair go all crazy. So I'll keep this short and sweet."
Cinnamon Girl took a breath as if she enjoyed the silence. Who knew how many people were listening?
"The First Impressions play group is a terrible idea," she said, "and I'm going to tell you why. Do we really need a group pumping kids full of the wizarding culture snobbery and rhetoric? I mean, seriously! Don't you think Muggleborns get excluded enough from wizarding culture? I mean, it's a total system shock when they show up to Hogwarts, and now they're going to have to share the Gryffindor table with a bunch of scary dead-eyed zombie children who've been spoon-fed this Purist crap from birth. And if you think that I'm getting all paranoid about purism, well. Check out who's running it. Oh wow," drawled Cinnamon Girl. "Look! Purebloods! Wow. Isn't that... wow. Now, I know some of the Pureblood ladies involved in First Impressions, and some are right nice," she admitted. "I'm a big fan of them. But some... well, let's just say that I'd be surprised if I didn't see their last names in the Prophet sometime soon, if you know what I mean."
Cinnamon Girl took another breath. "And you know what puts me in an even bigger strop? First Impressions could've been an awesome idea. Mummies and Daddies need some place to toss their offspring during the day. Wouldn't it have been fantastic to have a group that promotes the best of wizarding culture as well as the best of Muggle culture? Promoting playing nice with others? Wouldn't that have been nice? I mean, I don't know if you people've noticed, but we're the minority. Being completely clueless about an entire bloody culture is more than arrogant. It's daft."
Cinnamon Girl paused. "Oh bugger. I'm supposed to play music, aren't I? Well. Here's a fantastic little tune from the Sex Pistols, 'God Save The Queen'. And I promise I'm done ranting, loves... that is, for now. This is Cinnamon Girl on The Tube, wishing you a fabulous midnight. Remember loves, you're not alone, long as you can hear my voice."
