Years ago, a woman named Ani DiFranco showed the world that you didn't have to sell out, that you could survive and thrive without becoming a part of the corporate hegemony. That is was not just ok, but imperative that you wear your politics on your sleeve, and demand something better.

Whether she knew it or not, Ani DiFranco was a voice, sent out to everyone who was disenfranchised with the political, economical, social, and sexual climate in this country, and the world. Now, she'll sing about politics and tell stories about the anti-corporate nature of folk festivals, all while her record company, (and therefor her), sells art as jingle to the corporate and misogynistic enterprise known as the NFL

I hear her self appointed defenders now. People who've either sold out themselves, or never knew what it meant to be socially responsible in the first place. Yes, people change, but change is not always for the better. It's not as simple as 'getting over it' in a world where people can still be killed for who they kiss, and where a hateful isolationist gets publicity for his presidential campaign, and not because he's a bigot.

Of course, like I said when I stared this, most of you don't understand.

So sit in your warm suburban homes, and continue to think that the world is mostly fine, that there's no need for affirmative action, because women and minorities are on an equal ground now, and that the NFL isn't a bad thing.
