BRIEF THOUGHTS ON ANI D.
Ani is one of this generation's most talented and insightful musicians. Her lyrics come from the soul of a woman who has experienced life, not merely by observing, but by participating and being a part of it. While Ani is many things, CEO, business woman, musician, freak, let's always remember that it is her gift as a songwriter and "the chick singer" that brought her to us (and vise versa) and gave many a voice.
A big thanks to all of the Ani DiFranco sites across the web, many of whom have contributed to this page (and never knew they were doing so). Links to all of them can be found here, PLEASE visits these outstanding sites.
"i speak without reservation from what i know and who i am. i
do so with the understanding that all people should have the right to offer their voice to the chorus whether the result is harmony or dissonance, the worldsong is a colorless dirge without the differences that distinguish us, and it is that difference which should be celebrated not condemned. should any part of my music offend you, please do not close your ears to it. just take what you can use and go on." -- Ani DiFranco
