Ani DiFranco, pardon me, should go stick her head up a sow's derriere. My bad attitude goes back to the worst concert experience of my life. I got tix to see Maceo Parker at some outdoor venue at a golf course.. Little did I know that since the last time I saw Maceo (in a cool funky roadhouse) he had formed some sort of unholy liaison with Ms DiFranco and the concert had attracted about 300,000 of her pallid, feckless hippie fans. I sure as hell hadn't bargained for any whiney white women, I just wanted to see Maceo and hear the horns. There was one road in and one single-lane driveway entering the place and the traffic was at crawl speed for, honest, 20 miles from the venue. I sat crawling until over an hour after the posted start of the show and turned around and went home. Like $90 out the window, a funkless and enraged evening. Thanks, Ani DiFranco! |

Followed up today by Dylan's "Tangled Up in Blue" —- unusual vocal styles for each, but I'll take Bob any day of the week!

The album cover doesn't help the credibility of the artist which is sorely needed.

fuck you all....i like this song.
okay, maybe that's harsh, but really i could care less what she's singing about. i like her music. she can play a guitar like it's nobody's business. saw her at the Edmonton Fold Festival....freshly tuned guitar for every song...that's all i need.

Ha! Laugh out loud Fred. "unsophisticated belt-and-braces Nottingham jury"? I seriously doubt your unsophisticated label and indeed that you actually wear both belt AND braces. Whatever. . . another fine comment, thank you. The tune? . . . Mumbly old bint. 3 at most. |

Some support. . . I got dragged along to see her live. . .2002 maybe? (hadn't heard of her before) and wondered the same thing - not a fan of her brand of mumble. |

You plainly don't read enough comments, then. Yer woman has plenty to say, all right, but it's about herself and her minor travails and 'relationship issues'. If she were saying anything with import beyond her own self-regarding world she might be worth listening to. Don't underestimate the discrimination of RP listeners, who can appreciate a 'message' as well as any other body of listeners. |
