Mary Mancini

[https://weownthistown.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/s1e17-myfantasyfuneral-page.jpg]http://myfantasyfuneral.show Mary Mancini [https://twitter.com/marymancini] is the current Chair of the Tennessee Democratic Party [https://tndp.org/]. She moved to Nashville in the early 1990’s, and in 1992 she opened Lucy’s Record Shop, an all-ages venue and record store, on what was then a nearly deserted Church Street. In more recent years Mary has fought for voter’s rights as Executive Director for Tennessee Citizen Action, run for a seat in the Tennessee State Senate, and been elected as Chair of the Tennessee Democratic Party three times in a row. On this final episode of Season One of My Fantasy Funeral, Mary and host Ryan Breegle discuss her grandmother’s openness about the tricky topics of politics and race when she was young, what concerns Mary the most about the direction the country is headed, and her fantasy for the anthem of the women’s suffrage movement to be sung by Beyoncé.

She grew up in Cottontown, TN, a place that she doesn’t enjoy visiting now except for its good thrifting opportunities. Yet she has remained close to her family, and they play a large part in her funeral plans. On this episode of My Fantasy Funeral, Jasmin and host Ryan Breegle discuss the surprising reason Birdcloud performed a tour in adult diapers, whether there might be a second You Drive album, and the prominent pubs she would choose for her ghost to haunt.
