One of the best ever!!!... Started her own record label... 20 ish year's ago..said fuck the big dogs!!!!! Did it her way.....She needs way more credit than she has ever gotten..!!!!... But ...she doesn't want it!!!.... Makes her even more kick ass!!!!.. Keep it up Ani.!!...see you in 3 weeks!!! Just gotta keep LIVIN!!!!!...
MUSIC is timeless... just found this song. I sing it at the top of my lungs. Her performance gives me hope and goosebumps. That tingly feeling is hard to find, but i got it when i heard this song for the first time. WOW ❤
Every young man in the 90s should’ve been forced to go to an Ani show. Things might’ve worked out a bit differently. It sure couldn’t have hurt. Maybe then our generation (X), which I was so naively sure would be so different, wouldn’t have failed so miserably. Discovering Ani way back then, along with meeting a few other great women over the years that followed, helped open those doors for me - at times even kicking them down themselves. Without them, they might’ve remained either cracked or completely shut for far too long, and for that I’m so very thankful to them all.
Male age 46 and I love Ani's work. Best female 🎸 and songwriter. Saw her at the Colonial Theater in Keene, NH on the Dilate tour in the mid 90's. Blew my mind! Instant fan after that show!
This song was my life for years and years....but just like Ani, I have EVOVLED and I am happy and surrounded by love! LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!!!! Strong, Fierce Mommys ROCK!!!!!!!
To the girl that said I'm the "you" in this song for her: I'm sorry. 😔 I listen to this song to make remember I'm not always right and sometimes I could be the problem.
I used to feel the same way, but as I grew older, I got to evolve and move on from that too and I found I understand the "new" Ani a lot better now. Although, i have to admit that on a bad day I miss 90ies Ani, because that's when I need those angry, political, pissed off songs and they used to sound better then :)
I Love Ani!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw the babe in Utica !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still a spectacular song that speaks to me so deeply, and Ani is still so beautiful, but she is so missing that sting of the original version. At 20-something, she had that sexy, edgy, pissed off energy, and maybe it's just because I'm some young, edgy lesbian, but I prefer the Ani of the 90's.

I love the double A tuning.. Those bass notes hit so hard.
Dayum. This woman changed my life almost 20 years ago. After seeing her 8 times live I am still amazed every single time.
You never see Ani just once
One of the greatest songs of all time.
Fuckin' A

This version is so good
Lol, only Ani can get away with berating her audience for being rude... Lol I guess it's because she's a righteous babe!
That poor guitar, what did it ever do to her? Lol....straight man listening to her since 1992, she’s one of the best, right up there with Neil Young
she gives me fuckin shivers.
Compared to the studio version, Ani sings this like a memory
I LOVE YOU ANI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Love you girl
Her guitar tech takes it back to the Triag to resuscitate.

Ani difranco
WHAT * A * WOMAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing performance. I'm going to ask her for lessons.
Word
Righteous babe
Real ass dude
She's still great but she's just kind of going through the motions on this one compared to the album version. I'm glad she's happier now though.
I Love Ani!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw the babe in Utica !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That guitar tone....yikes that's good.
shes so funny

Yup. I can relate, but as time stretches me away and settles me into life, the new stuff is really growing on me. I'm into it.
banging that hard without a pickguard. Wow.
She was still channeling that negative energy toward the subject of the song

KatyPeezy melissa ferrick on which side are you on song for this concert
KatyPeezy i mean do re me sorry
+KatyPeezy melissa ferrick?
Melissa Ferrick

I agree Ani about Melissa. Were you talking about my ex wife? Lol.
