Ani

Ani was absolutely amazing last Wednesday. By leaps and bounds the most beautiful and engaging concert I've been at in ages. From the incredible, contagious energy of Animal Prufrock (animalprufrock.com -self described "dyke genious") to the soaring dignity and righteous rage of Ani's "gently ironic"* lyrics and unyielding guitar, it was a profound homecoming for me to a place that I hadn't noticed has become that... home.

The limitations of a gendered God, the holiness of physics, and Ani's rebirth as a feminist amidst her daughter's literal birth filled the night with the powerful hope and generous kindness that I've felt in Ani's shade before.

And no one has better fans. It was a good night.
