Ani DiFranco is playing Disneyland.
I am without words.
well, not entirely…
News of this came across the ACRL Women’s Studies section discussion list (she’s playing downtown Disney during the ALA Annual meeting n two weeks). It came without comment, but I find it mind-boggling.
Feminism’s independent woman. A fierce denier(?) of The System. Perhaps the most independent musician to ever hit it big time. A woman, poet, singer who opened my eyes and made me question so much (including the role of happiness on fierceness in women’s creative spirit). A woman/musician/entrepreneur who rejected ever rule she ever met
Is playing DISNEYLAND???? The icon of The System. Capitalism by playing along. The epitome of selling out.
My spirit folds a little under the news.
