ani d. -- no good liberal!
Edited on Thu Aug-07-03 03:21 PM by tuck
this is one of my favorites, thank you celiberal!

i want to post this whole song, but there are copyright rules, you know....

from "self evident" by ani difranco:

under the thumb of some blue blood royal son
who stole the oval office and that phony election
i mean
it don't take a weatherman
to look around and see the weather
jeb said he'd deliver florida, folks
and boy did he ever

and we hold these truths to be self evident:
#1 george w. bush is not president
#2 america is not a true democracy
#3 the media is not fooling me
cuz i am a poem heeding hyper-distillation
i've got no room for a lie so verbose
i'm looking out over my whole human family
and i'm raising my glass in a toast


read the whole thing at:

http://www.danah.org/Ani/SoMuchShouting/SelfEvident.html

or better yet, buy or borrow "so much shouting, so much laughter" and listen to it yourself.

the woman is a musical genius!

Yeah, Ani made me like "folk", or "alt.folk" or whatever....

She's great live too.

2. A friend played this for me the other day
It's incredible, powerful. Turned me into an Ani DiFranco fan.

4. Ani Di Franco has created some great music
I am not a big follower but I enjoy listening to her albums. The live CD is a good listen.
You go Ani!

5. Ani D is on the Adbuster CD IIRC
A good listen if you want to hear the people sing.
