<p>I think the ■■■■■ just took the name, and might be associated with Deb Rockman in some way. However, Deb Rockman does not sound like the kind of person who believes that her personal views speak for the entire midwest:</p>

As an artist, I consciously engage in this rather harsh and disparaging view of American culture. And in doing so, I acknowledge that I cannot exclude myself entirely from this critique as I slip back and forth between a cultural position of privilege to a cultural position of exclusion. I am Caucasian in a culture that privileges “whiteness”. I am middle-class. I am a homeowner. I am well educated. But I also bring to my observations an awareness of my own “otherness”. I am a single, middle-aged, childless woman, and I am a lesbian. My sexuality, perceived by my detractors as the very essence of my being, is under chronic and sanctioned attack by powerful patriarchal, political, and religious institutions. I am often denied the provisional/conditional respect and affirmation that western culture reserves for women who are either positioned in relation to a man (as a wife) or positioned in relation to children (as a mother).
