DiFranco gathers writing mate

what it’s Ilk*- to he of her parte -

comes across as being angry to
the listener, hut it is a venting
prm ess tie* ause she never reallv
iiad the opportunity to he angr\
"I've been taught not to stand
up for myself, to not he aggros

there’s a problem, 1 don't deni
with it. and if it’s a big enough
problem. I just leave, as opposed
to really hammering out a place
for myself and telling people
what I need and what I don't
want
Many of DtFrant o's songs deal
w ith gender roles in society and
what she finds frustrating about
being u woman in today 's soci

frustration DtFranco concentrates

<)o to improve her situation
DiFrnnca finds Iter work very
satisfying It s great to l»e able to
(inspire people) and to help in
some wav." she said, "but I think
that, that's too easy, you know,
to just sort of make me into some
thing I'm not. some sort of super
hero or something, and 1 think
that it's harder to think of me as
iusl as fin ked up and just like
anybody else, bemuse then it
puts the listener in the position
of, 'Well, I could do that too.' or
There's no different e between
me and her, and the expectations
I have of her 1 should have of
ills sell ' So 1 think the w hole cult
of personality thing isn't really
condut ive to getting things
done
f ollowing along those lines
DiFranco has produced II of her
own recordings under her own
Righteous Records label She
does not feel at home with peo
ple in the recording industry
"After being approached more
and more hv music business
types wanting \ nrious things and
offering various things, I |ust sort
of decided that for the most part
those are not 111) people." she
said Formany years DiFrnnr.o
has toured and promoted herself.
DiFranco's challenge to her
audience is for them to listen to
one another even it they don't
agree so they have the ability to
decide what they should think
and do
