not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you're bored like me atm then you can watch pretty much all the latest movies on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my girlfriend these days :)
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.
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 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.
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.
@@allenmissenis6437 Yes, I think she's always been profound. I went back and picked up her earlier albums after I first heard Dilate, and have purchased each one after that album as well. I find something to love on each one.
i still effing love you as a person Ani! Thank you for sharing that moment of life with me and thank you for sharing yourself, your thoughts, your process, your songs, and your life with us all... isn't she just an awesome woman people?!
I was thinking about that new show “ the song” and thinking, shit, what kind of chaos would happen if they had really high octane lyricists like Ani or Tom Waits or Peter Gabriel or Billie Joe Armstrong commandeered the show. People would be hemorrhaging, but those kids would LEARN.
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.
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.
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...
I feel ya on I Can't Make You Love Me. I can't even listen to that song anymore and I've being in a happy relationship for 13 years. Just something about it that is incredibly sad every single time.
I got to see her at the Amherst College arena in 99? I could literally count the other guys in the audience. 22 of us in total. Most were dragged there. I was not. I like Ani. I have all the albums up to evolve.
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.
Jeez, really? Hmmm i was 8 when Dilate the album came out and remember feeling she was the first contemporary artist i could show my Joan Baez etc loving mom and say 'hey mom, my generation can do authentic too!' Granted mom loved Napoleon especially... hmmm surprised you had the opposite reaction!
She has been my idol since I was 16 and I'm 38 now.
Saaaaame!
Snap

@Jason Brandon Yup, have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :D
@Jason Brandon definitely, been using InstaFlixxer for years myself =)
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
I can’t believe there is only 92 comments!!!

Loved her the moment I heard her .. Love Ani 😃
Kim Love Same here- my boss let me have his bootleg of Puddledive.
Me too! First song for me was 'Light of some kind' what was yours?
She's been prolific. Creativity like that is crazy.
I wish this was longer.

dialate is my favorite.. but before that she was more profound.. she could sing befoer she had a drummer
before? my bad
@@allenmissenis6437 Yes, I think she's always been profound. I went back and picked up her earlier albums after I first heard Dilate, and have purchased each one after that album as well. I find something to love on each one.
That was fun. Wish it was longer

She sure is!
Saw Ani open for Bob Dylan in Sydney...awesome......
She made me cry when i heard allergic to water "woe be gone" driving to work and i was just thinking thank you for making this song
Oh Ani!! So nice to see you, I love you so much, this was adorable!
❤️❤️❤️
Her music is so good
Not really.
I was thinking about that new show “ the song” and thinking, shit, what kind of chaos would happen if they had really high octane lyricists like Ani or Tom Waits or Peter Gabriel or Billie Joe Armstrong commandeered the show. People would be hemorrhaging, but those kids would LEARN.
@@pinkeye00 yes really
@@sodacushion2815 Well, people without an ear are just ignorant. Probably white, at that.
No one's writes like Ani. Period!!
These were so interesting and fun I wish there was more! Ani ♥
finally! someone with something to say!! love ani!!
She’s just awesome
Thank you sharing this. Such a great person.
I have always and will always love Ani. She's a poet and her songs are part of my soul...
i was named after her!!!
Awesome human
I was at that tour with her and Bob Dylan. I watched her open and maybe the first 2 songs of Bob then I left.
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.
I love this so much, and I wish it was longer! ❤
One of the greats
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.
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.
I loved her when nobody knew her💞
I remember middle school me buying my first Ani CD at Barnes & Nobles

Just the best!
I feel ya on I Can't Make You Love Me. I can't even listen to that song anymore and I've being in a happy relationship for 13 years. Just something about it that is incredibly sad every single time.
Hahah, "uncle mumbles" I love her
4:06 “The city that never shuts up?”
6:21 Girl! Good one! 😢
"you may have heard" she asks lol
Bravo , sweet soul !
We love you kido
Winter mist...😂 love it! I want to hear it!
I love her.
I got to see her at the Amherst College arena in 99? I could literally count the other guys in the audience. 22 of us in total. Most were dragged there. I was not. I like Ani. I have all the albums up to evolve.
I think I was at that show . . . very few dudes. I was excited to see every one of them, because I'd come over from Smith. Ha!
@@hannasizemore8028 lol. I only saw her that once. Great show. And I'm a big bearded biker looking guy so I got some weird looks
I love how casual she is with dropping Dylan’s name lol
She seems fun
Christian Barmoy Her concerts are really fun. She’s a ball of life affirming energy.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The title got my hopes up...
i love the way she's always high
AUTHENIC.
Think that was Tanglewood! The gate crashing crowd before Bob happened there for sure
BOB DYLAN Mom's, LOL
♥️🌸
Was it the Tanglewood show? Definitely remember the outside audience crashing the gates and coming inside!
2:45 EASTSIDE!!
"You're so cool..."
Oh snap,im at work on east 12th street now
4:53 oh god
The Dylan mosh pit-wish I’d seen it! 😂
I WAS THER AT CMAC. IN THE FINGER LAKES.
MY BAD....SHE OPEND FOR , TRACICALLY HIP AT CMAC. I WAS THERE! RIP GORD DOWNIE!
I could've used an hour more!
✌🏼❤️🌎
only song I know of her is pale purple
Well it may be time to listen to more Pale purple is a great song but there is so much more to hear
Wow! Yelling "sell out" to Ani DiFranco! How dare they?

Something about her always seemed really contrived to me.

Granted mom loved Napoleon especially... hmmm surprised you had the opposite reaction!
Sounds like she was very loose when she was younger.
2:32 --> shows why even the liberals are confused about what they want #MAGA #2020
How does that make any sense? At 2:32 she was talking about inhaling.
