Oh, man. When I was in college and in a disastrous relationship, I cannot tell you how many times listening to an Ani DiFranco CD got me through the rough times. When the relationship came to a necessary end, my love affair with Ani continued, and her music still evokes powerful messages of female strength, of fighting for the underdog, and she is just one of those artists where you might find yourself screaming along with when you're in the shower or car. It's just probably not appropriate when she performs tonight at the House of Blues. Pearl & the Beard open the set.
