Everything about this makes my soul scream for someone to come storming out on stage to DiFranco’s tune:
I am not a pretty girl
That is not what I do
I ain’t no damsel in distress
And I don’t need to be rescued
So put me down, punk
Wouldn’t you prefer a maiden fair?
Isn’t there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere?
And then later:
Don’t you think every kitten figures out how to get down,
Whether or not you ever show up?
