seriously... really??
The only thing worse than this song is the stupid album cover.
Normally I don't etc etc
But this is just...
I can't let this war crime of a song just slide by

Go girl!
Considering the cover, maybe the right expression would be "Go fish!" :) This hurts my ears, and Ani diFranco gets on my tits because she's so personal and intense and self-absorbed. If I'd wanted to hear confessionals I'd have become a priest. Still, as folk have pointed out, she has her own label and does her own thing and doesn't give a monkey's what folk think of her, so kudos to her for that. |

LOL. That's priceless. I thought this was a 1 and then she ended with that gaspy breath thing. Way into negative territory. |

She talks too fast for me to get what she's trying to say. Which, I guess, makes this song pretty obnoxious. Off to check out the lyrics (if there are any), and maybe then, I'll understand her rant. For now, I think it sucks. No rating.

Perfect time for this song! Think people either get Ani or don't. I get her and like what she stands for. This might not be the greatest song but it was where she was at the time. She is fantastic in concert.

I don't know, that one actually actually rang true for me. Her delivery was not exactly user friendly, but i thought the lyrics, while a bit distracted and messy, held a interesting and relevant message. but maybe thats just me and my twenty-something angst  |

Ms. DiFranco does not have to answer to anyone. Couldn't get signed? Started her own label. Whether you like her or not (I happen to like her), Ani doesn't care: she doesn't cater to anyone, she just does what she does and maybe some people dig it.
I dig it.

I've never really had an opinion on Ani. It's probably OK, but I actually couldn't listen to it after coming out of a nice Frisell composition and Little Feat's stunning Easy to Slip. RP is usually better with its segues.

I agree. Not a big Ani fan but I like this. |

WTF?
That opening line flipped me out. I thought there was something wrong with the recording. And then it kept on going.
How did this get here?

Yea, I knew there was something drawing me to the song, but couldn't tell what it was, wasn't really paying attention to the lyrics anyway... |
