Ani tour : let’s start the engine !
Just a few hours and the first concert of the 2nd leg of the 2001 italy tour of Ani DiFranco will take place, yess in an almost unknown little city , Nonantola, close to Modena, basically 200 Km from my home. So we’re getting ready to go, to start again this adventure, kms don’t matter too much, all in all, i did 1250 just last february, so this is my 4h ani gig in one year and the 9th overall. the plan for today is to get to Milan, get Annalisa and Francesca on my ani-car and go to modena or maybe bologna where we’ll pick up Lavinia then meet with Micol and Flavia somewhere. I know all those names maybe don’t mean anything to you but basically the core italian fan is well represented by them (and me of course), it seems i’m the only guy in this posse, and this reminds me of one thread Flavia raised in our mailing list about the perception that guys may have toward the folksinger. surely some topics or some position of Ani may have been considered as femminist but i think this is a limitation, it’s just seeing a detail and not the whole picture, so even guys (and straight, just in case you’re wondering) can appreciated her talents… see ya
