It was 1995, shortly after 25-year-old Shannon Lowney, a receptionist at an abortion clinic, was shot two blocks from my quaint and grassy campus by 22-year-old John Salvi. Ani DiFranco‘s song is both a protest for a woman’s right to choose and a protest to the protestors that inhibited those rights in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In the song, DiFranco discusses the abortion as a “casualty” she endured — “a relatively easy casualty”, an almost prophetic designation as violence against abortion clinics skyrocketed to a bloody climax on the eve of 1995.\n\nDiFranco’s sparse music is populated by lyrics that continually rise in angry enforcements of her rights and fall with the sad realization that sometimes anger doesn’t get you all the way there. The self-questioning runs like an undertow, threatening to pull her under as she stands alone, and clearly paints a picture of what most artists only create impressions of. The song stands not only as an assertion of her right to “exercise [her] freedom of choice”, but also as a manifest expression of her right to make her choice without external judgment. – Betsy Grant", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3421965, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3421965/?format=api", "airdate": "2024-11-06T03:43:36-08:00", "show": 61776, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/61776/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia902909.us.archive.org/22/items/mbid-30de1a0d-f1f3-4a6b-bf6e-4cf8e7cd9b05/mbid-30de1a0d-f1f3-4a6b-bf6e-4cf8e7cd9b05-3602695508_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia802909.us.archive.org/22/items/mbid-30de1a0d-f1f3-4a6b-bf6e-4cf8e7cd9b05/mbid-30de1a0d-f1f3-4a6b-bf6e-4cf8e7cd9b05-3602695508_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Just Make It Stop", "track_id": "9585eebb-5515-3016-84e4-b2e4862af2d3", "recording_id": "263c8848-1fd2-480e-b9e6-43d63a8cd1f8", "artist": "Low", "artist_ids": [ "42faad37-8aaa-42e4-a300-5a7dae79ed24" ], "album": "The Invisible Way", "release_id": "30de1a0d-f1f3-4a6b-bf6e-4cf8e7cd9b05", "release_group_id": "cc0862a0-7faa-4a6a-aee3-623e9afae622", "labels": [ "Sub Pop Records" ], "label_ids": [ "38dc88de-7720-4100-9d5b-3cdc41b0c474" ], "release_date": "2013-03-19", "rotation_status": "Library", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Here I am, just make it stop\nI can tell the whole world\nTo get out of the way\nIf I could just make it stop\nIf I could just make it stop\nBreaking my heart\nGet out of the way\nIf I could just make it stop", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3421964, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3421964/?format=api", "airdate": "2024-11-06T03:40:17-08:00", "show": 61776, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/61776/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia802209.us.archive.org/25/items/mbid-60797f49-bac1-4154-a62d-fbaa0cb8d3b9/mbid-60797f49-bac1-4154-a62d-fbaa0cb8d3b9-7793113408_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia802209.us.archive.org/25/items/mbid-60797f49-bac1-4154-a62d-fbaa0cb8d3b9/mbid-60797f49-bac1-4154-a62d-fbaa0cb8d3b9-7793113408_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Fake Empire", "track_id": "b213c2d0-cef8-3255-9e6d-19ab9d52a78b", "recording_id": "fe844263-ce9c-44f3-b89c-a1e020f384ca", "artist": "The National", "artist_ids": [ "664c3e0e-42d8-48c1-b209-1efca19c0325" ], "album": "Boxer", "release_id": "60797f49-bac1-4154-a62d-fbaa0cb8d3b9", "release_group_id": "9facb475-4c5f-369b-9b93-1280e6669090", "labels": [ "Beggars Banquet" ], "label_ids": [ "5917da67-b605-4a08-a5a0-a6874501dda4" ], "release_date": "2007-05-22", "rotation_status": "Library", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "“Show, by your actions, that you choose peace over war, freedom over oppression, voice over silence, service over self-interest, respect over advantage, courage over fear, cooperation over competition, action over passivity, diversity over uniformity, and justice over all.”\n\n— Anthony J.
