You and whose army?
...army of me...
|
| Name: | ..this must be shove.. |
| Location: | Colorado, United States |
| Birthdate: | 1980 |
| Bio: | Q: From your earliest album to the current one, your songs have made the personal political and vice versa. Has your understanding of those realms — “personal” and “political” — changed (okay, evolved) over the years?
Ani D: Since political edifices are purporting to dictate to me, whether I can or cannot have an abortion, what drugs I can or cannot ingest, where on this earth I can and cannot go, and who on this earth I can love (just to name a few things), then it seems obvious to me that the personal is political. This has always seemed obvious to me. Conversely, once you understand yourself to be connected to all other living things, and the earth beneath your feet, you respond to the oppression of people and the destruction of the environment by governments by taking it personally. It is the latter half of this equation that I am developing as I journey into adulthood and therefore into a position of responsibility and/or accountability to human society. It is an equation that always adds up to one, however. The personal and the political are of one realm; to separate them is artificial.

A.D. It's been really challenging knowing where to write from. You know, we all know it's fucked, so I don't gotta say that. So where do we go from here? My mind and my heart just land with the awareness that we have to liberate women, for real. We have to empower women, for real. And then if we focused on that as a people, I believe that all of the other problems, everything from Katrina to Iraq to environmental issues, would change. Once you have mothers influencing the course of government and cultures, all of those other problems will not exist as such. For me, that's just primarily true, and I'm struggling with how to express that and not turn people off."
