Such an amazing musician. Been listening to her for two decades. IMO, she's the best lyricist in the past three decades.

She has to be the most under rated guitar player. She makes up her own chords.

If I had a day left on earth, id reserve an hour just to hear Ani go through all her firsts... I wanted this video to never end

She's been prolific. Creativity like that is crazy.

She is so relatable. Its weird when you see someone whos work is so radical yet so relatable. She could be like the friendly girl next door who just happens to be a cultural icon.

I can’t believe there is only 92 comments!!! I’m 41 and have never knowingly listened to her to connect her name to her work. (I know…welcome to Earth-I’m evolving) But this is the first thing I have found before searching for her work. What a RAY OF POSITIVE LIGHT this beautiful woman puts out AND back into this world. 😊 Thankyou for the coverage that your company has provided us over the years. We are still learning and educating ourselves. Backstory- I was in the grocery store the other day and ran into a woman with an Ithaca tattoo- identically placed in the same spot as myself. I introduced myself and complimented her fine taste. She smiles and says “What? No Annie Defranco tattoos?” I knew enough to know she was a talented musician…but I felt a little ignorant too… I have dreadlocks and never knew…😅 Thankyou for sending me down a new musical discovery road and probably an enlightenment path as well. Knowledge is a gift and so is music.

I wish this was longer. I met a guy after I graduated H/S. He talking about her music & was floored I never heard any of it. He made me a mixed tape. I love him (& her) still.

That was fun. Wish it was longer

Loved her the moment I heard her .. Love Ani 😃

I've enjoyed her music since I first heard the Dilate album. She used to swing through our town regularly, and every show was wonderful. Honest and poignant. Her strength and vulnerability always came through.

In 1997 my friends and I won tickets to see her perform at Ithaca College by stripping in the booth of the college radio station. I think the DJ got fired over it, but it was the best concert of my life and I've loved Ani ever since. I just want to keep rewatching this.

Went to the gig in Australia. Watched her, loved it... waited for Bob but he took forever to come on... must have been a bad night for him or something so we took off. Ani was why we went and she did not disappoint.

Follow up. My wife and I saw her in Cortland NY in a small venue 2019 I think... Awesome show being so small and personal.

Was it the Tanglewood show? Definitely remember the outside audience crashing the gates and coming inside!

Not really relevant to anything, but I'm not a tattoo guy, especially on women...but i've always thought Ani's "collarbone" tattoo was cool as hell. It's like she was born with it, it's so perfect...

Think that was Tanglewood! The gate crashing crowd before Bob happened there for sure

AUTHENIC.

Tbh they yelled it for years after Dilate came out in 96! They felt writing a an album about heartbreak (even one of the best folk Punk albums ever!) wasnt punk enough coz it didnt deal with 'social issues' ... lol ahh to think back to that. Ive seen her talk/in an article about that years ago. What a bunch of insecure shallow fans to play her out like that eh

Ani's new song (Thing At Hand) in 2022 certainly has a bit of pushback on labels of he, she, and they and gay, bi, and straight. I hope Ani is making a bit of a statement against identity politics, which is definitely a flaw that shows up in today's left wing. I just finished Ani's book, and my goodness she has lived her left wing credentials. However, Ani AGREED with a women's music festival's policy to only have "women-born" women and she got some heat for that. Why would Ani believe that? Well, if you have not had a period every month, felt the patriarchy every day, felt the physical strength disparity every day, and yes even know the power of chid birth -- you can't truly know what it is to be a woman. You can't. Ultimately if there are no real women, there is no real feminism. That's at least what I gleaned from reading Ani's autobiography. Other people may have a different analysis altogether and Ani would not have a problem with differing views on her words.

There exist cisgender women who are physically strong, don’t menstruate, and can’t have children. Do they not know what it means to be a woman? Strange to talk about experiencing “the patriarchy” and then immediately follow it up by defining womanhood based solely on what’s between a woman’s legs-precisely the way your patriarchy has assigned value to womankind forever. We’re allowed to have different opinions on this topic, certainly, but I don’t think what you’re describing is feminism, so much as gatekeeping and subconscious transphobia couched in the very identity politics you just decried.

Sounds like she was very loose when she was younger.

Something about her always seemed really contrived to me.
