I was wondering why it has been so much better here lately. |

I think the same could be said for at least half of bands/musicians or singer/songwriters. "Insufferably hip and self-righteous"...a lot of that going around these days, though in different flavors & forms. |

Drives me nuts when all I can hear from the guitar is the fingers sliding along the strings when she's changing chords! Otherwise, a pretty good song.

Well, that does go without saying. But thanks for saying it, anyway. |

Nah, nothing of the sort. I really don't care if you want to say negative things about Ani or any other artists. I may disagree with you, but it will be polite. I was just suggesting that you try to change things up a bit. Saying the same thing about an artist over and over till it's actually noticeable that you're doing so is just dull. |

If her music really bothers you that much maybe you should start muting. Or you could come up with something different to say about her. Just a gentle suggestion from someone who likes the idea of Ani as well as the reality of Ani.
And to be fair, I've probably said similarly positive things about Ani on numerous occasions. But I do try to not be too repititious.

No, really, the tone of my post was part of the (poor) humor. |

Lived in Alaska myself for four years, with the angry wife, till the paper closed. Miss it sometimes. Alaska, not the ex. And yeah, if not for the kid, I'd have gotten out of that sooner. But there's such a thing as being trapped. |

Normally not an Ani fan (usually for the same reasons a lot of others have expressed: too self-rigeous, etc.), but the more often I hear this one the more I really like it. The message rings true, with catchy music too... |

Not my least favorite DiFranco song, but pretty close. |
