I love that Neko Case writes the most intense mature seen it all twice songs and then also produces what looks like the single off a Nikelodean TV movie

[@swesttttt]

YES! It makes it’s messaging even stronger, and just slightly subversive.

[@ml.2770]

Love this guys music.

[@kevintrotter5094]

"You didn't know what a man was until I showed you"..ha! That's fucking awesome

[@afterlifezine6950]

First time ever I had come across but buying this CD at the record store as it was on clearance and I put it on and fell in love instantly

[@steveboyd5850]

I seriously have to say that in my 10 years or so of loving Neko Case, just by proxy and because she is fabulously honest, always a fave, etc....a popular.....and yet, I have never seen this video? seriously? and less than 200 grand have? seriously? what a great song, great concept, she is my all timer list forever.I love you Neko case.

[@pedrito77]

OMG! I thought I was the only one!

[@defiantlearning]

I feel lucky to have been able to have experienced Neko both just peripherally as well as live in concert in my lifetime. So deserving of much more publicity than she gets. Belongs w/ names like Patti Smith, Joan Baez, Lucinda Williams, Chrissie Hynde, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Joan Jett & Debbie Harry.

[@michaelpolese3440]

Nobody on that list belongs with Patti!

[@strangewayfaringstranger]

Yeah they do.

[@jerrygu5316]

and Lauryn Hill.

[@OrElseEllipsis1945]

@@michaelpolese3440 I get that Patti Smith is one of the greatest muscians to ever exist, she released "Horses" for Christ's sake. Way ahead of her time, and she's still got it. But, Neko Case has also had a great output. She's an amazing musician. Her work with The New Pornographers is also excellent. Lucinda Williams is also an amazing musician. The others had their ups and downs. Some more forensic than others ups; being overrated in my opinion. Of course, that's my opinion. Of course, we can have our prefences and people are free to criticize them.

[@fiorellaconstanza4722]

This day more than ever, just after David Bowie's death, I needed this. Thank you, Neko. I love you.

[@drakehonest2]

Hey how are you doing?

[@MajGenJohnFrost]

Whoa, I just randomly looked for Neko Case stuff and she came out with a video today, radical!

[@evanwalkerdesign]

So good! Thanks Neko.

[@nanwelch1394]

Love this video and song! Thanks for including the"kids"in video!

[@TheTeamPlayers]

Neko is magic.

[@HeidiBehrLCSWCAP]

Love your music Neko!

[@christopherjohnson4935]

Man, that was just awesome!

[@allieleach]

This song is my JAM today. Thanks, Neko Case.

[@drakehonest2]

Hello how are you doing..?

[@JohnLnyc]

I often wonder why music videos are really videos with soundtracks. What you hear has little to do with what you see. Not so here! (hear?). This is performance art for me. Love it!

[@Peacecore09]

What a badass!!! Love me some Neko!

[@bcpr9812]

I totally want that outfit. The drivers in my town act like you're not even there, at the crosswalks.

[@aaronwimberleymbamsf5776]

Truly amazing

[@agraciotti]

Neko rocking as always. love.

[@strangewayfaringstranger]

A quote from an NPR interview with her.... "I don’t really think of myself specifically as a woman, you know? I’m kind of a critter. I’m an animal. Everyone’s an animal. And I find I’m much happier and well-balanced if I think of myself that way because you know, I’m a straight white female or whatever at the gynecologist, but the rest of the time, you know, I feel pretty all over the place…I’m probably a little imbalanced in that if you were to look at a human creature as kind of a vase or something my glass is a little bit more full of the man stuff, than the woman stuff."

[@fjdubya5726]

I believe the term is "Tomboy"! Nothin' wrong with that whatsoever.

[@mattcreen]

Incredible!!

[@Ronnibearable]

This song gets me.

[@goldsmith50]

You are the f*#cking man Necko!

Wow so many dislikes, people are cray as this song is great.

Grey streaks are coming through. I kinda like it.

I love this song.

Hello how are you doing.?

Neko is my spirit animal

Awesome talent and frightfully attractive too :)

Nice muddy, indistinguishable guitar parts. Killer.

[@Zandalorscat]

This video is freaking amazing.

[@whiteburr]

Neko case is my hero

[@angelakaiser5228]

This song reaches me as far as being a Tom girl and fought against sexist issues in both male dominated labor fields and the restaurant industry AND becoming the matriarch of my family after my grandfather passed. It is an anthem I can get behind. I will show them what being a real man means.

[@drakehonest2]

Hello how are you doing.?

[@gorfulator]

Is that where they filmed Soylent Green?

[@thebetsies6485]

I love this song & the video is really cool. Fanfuckingtastic!

[@DominiqueKeller]

Ayant, de Tacoma à Vermont, contribué depuis 1997 à renouveler la scène country-folk US, en lui apportant énergie et sensualité, paroles intimes et punchlines rentre-dedans, et l'esprit frondeur d'une artiste qui, seule ou avec les New Pornographers, ne se sera jamais laissé marcher sur les pieds, Neko Richelle Case aka *Neko Case* publie l'anthologie (_Truckdriver, Gladiator, Mule_, 13/11) d'une carrière en tout point impeccable, qu'illumine le clip dansant de _Man_, plus bel hymne féministe de 2013.

[@tomfitzpatrick6756]

EKK musician from Tacoma her home town i remember her name but we did not cross paths possibly at Coles at a open mike i am a fan now she is hands down the real deal funny how things happen

[@zobothehobo]

I'm trans and I don't know if it was intentional in its writing that this song reflect transness so well, but oh my god this song is perfectly about a trans man

[@bradfield2266]

It’s saying 100% the opposite of that. It’s about Neko being a tomboy because she grew up in the 70s/80s when people let tomboys be tomboys without there being a crisis of gender identity or dysphoria. She’s saying only Americans are obsessed with gender, she says animals don’t give a shit. You can read her explanation of it in Rolling Stone. All respect to you and your situation though.

[@esteb0t]

i normally dont like stuff like this but its great..plus im kinda high so idk..cooltho

[@rosskolnikov]

Filmed at the Warner Bros lot?

[@aaronwimberleymbamsf5776]

Classic and timeless =] Neko is perhaps my favourite cantaautora- she is also great example of how women get btter over the years and age like a fine wine.

[@SakuraBlue1]

If I have to reincarnate, I wanna be more like her in my next life...

mmm hmmm

✊✊✊✊✊✊✊

[@aaronwimberleymbamsf5776]

Very uplifting song for the day=] My dad discovered Neko Case and turned me onto her. I love strong female vocalists, don't like the profanity in this song, but she is fierce. It's sad when your dad has better musical/indie taste that you.

[@daved4673]

She can do no wrong.

[@comradehermit9320]

This should be the official trans-man anthem.

[@comradehermit9320]

My best friend, a trans-man, just moved back home to England. Here's to you Jimmy Boy. Cheers! ....I miss you like fucking crazy already....

[@gergsar]

she's my man ;-)

[@cleanslate2004]

Indie ? Seems more like Punk fusion Pop !

[@verushka70]

I think if you're female, born before the Internet was a thing, and you were a tomboy or never particularly "girly" -- and raised to be self-reliant and independent instead of a dependent daddy's girl/princess, especially by a father/figure -- this could be you.

kinda weird video, nice song tho.

[@lecedesvictoria6221]

oh brother

[@damienrobertson1593]

Was so excited to see her, but turned out to be a horrible show. She has a no phone policy now which is fine, but the people at the show were so crazy enforcing it that when my daughter dropped the lid to her water and bent over to grab it security got signaled that we were up to something with our phone. Problem is they couldn’t tell who the guy was signaling them to check out so all 3 rows around got harassed about having their phone out, which nobody did, and if I would have known it was over a water lid at the time I would have pointed out so nobody around us would have had to go through such bs. Then since nobody got in trouble and most the people left the area out of annoyance of the harassment the guy who signaled them in our area was staring at my daughter and I the whole time from then on like we got away with something and he was gonna catch us. Real fun show😒. My daughter felt so uncomfortable she asked to leave early so we did since I was pissed and annoyed. Hey, but at least nobody of the less than 200 people that showed up to the 1000 seat venue took any pictures so I guess it was a successful show for her. What a joke! I hate people videotaping at shows in front of me as well as most people, but it has never ruined my show experience as bad as the over policing of trying to avoid it did. I would have loved to talk about how great she was, but our experience and watching them harass others was too distracting.

[@drakehonest2]

Hey how are you doing..?

[@yassssine9033]

pk personne lui a dis que c'est de la merde

[@giuseppemare]

Good song! What's with the stupid graphics all over Neko? I want more guitar solos and I want Neko to play them.

[@theunknownpoet.5767]

anti Chanel

[@ositofreitas]

Is she trying to say she is a lesbian?

[@Owlpunk]

No. She's saying that she is a man.

[@bradfield2266]

She’s saying she’s a tomboy and if she wants to casually/jokingly call herself a man, she will... and that people shouldn’t take it literally.

[@NeccoWecco]

I get the importance of this song for younger kids, but i dont like child dancers. They're so mechanical :(

[@automahack]

The only problem with Niko is lack of good material..This song is case in point.

[@drakehonest2]

Hello how are you doing?

[@roddy2body]

Don't get me wrong, I love Neko! But this video.. Wtf lol it's fkn worse than Davie Bond!

[@jamesthomasdaughton9444]

good song. about daddy issues.

[@RichardJohnson_dydx]

Sounds more like Mommy issues to me.

[@bunnybun5657]

[@Berus7777]

Decent song. Needs to do something with the hair. Definitely needs to do something with the hair and clothes. Maybe time for a makeover. Yeah. Time for a makeover. Good music, though.

[@bradfield2266]

OMG fuck off

[@OnIoN4UrTrUbLeS]

This isnt the real Neko she is getting political and i respect it this is just not good! She used to put her energy into good music this is all political. Sorry Neko i dont think you thought about the music on this one. Still love you though my crush! Yes i am a man and i think Neko is a great musician and is beautiful is that offensive?

[@carolyns4519]

She was political at least a decade before this song existed. Remember "Pretty Girls"? This is no different for her.

[@OnIoN4UrTrUbLeS]

@@carolyns4519 She was good used to make songs in the wild! The city life destroyed her!
