Not Just an Audio Art
Just watched the Little Plastic Castle video with Axel, the man that introduced me to Ani DiFranco.
One of the things that I just realized tonight that I love about that song is that Ani sings a serious, poignant social message, and she has fun with it. If you listen on an album, Ani might sound angry. And, yeah, I dont think there's any question that anger is involved. But if you watch her face as she plays, you see that the music is about so much more than pain and frustration; it's about the silliness and the sound and the realization that things need to change.
Once again...
If we can't do it with a smile on our face, if we can't do it with love in our heart, then children we ain't got no right to do it at all.
