Q: What does music allow you that no other medium would?
Ani di Franco: It allows me a means to try and teach myself
about my life. I’ve sort of invented this job for myself where I write these little letters to me that end up as songs. I usually present myself with a problem -- something that happened -- and then I remind myself of what I did and what the result was. Then I suggest what I could have done better so that I won’t be such a pathetic fuck and next time rise to the occasion.
(laughs) It’s a very strange, convoluted, organic process, but by standing up onstage and trying to sing my little casual manifestoes, I’m slowly learning the stuff of what to do during the day.
