Ani Defranco - about 2008 when she was pregnant and played the Keswick Theater in Glenside PA. Worst ever performance from an artist and the crowd from hell to boot.

I went there with my wife as she is a major Ani fan. I've seen Ani about 20 times now over the years and always an outstanding musician with good interaction with the crowds ...

This night was just an amazingly off night for her in terms of playing and also endless banter about everything in the world that is fucked up.... playing half a song then going into a speech against whatever was on her mind at that time ...

then add in 500+ drunk lesbians that are now going apeshit that Ani is proud to be pregnant with her 1st kid ... Some are freaking out and screaming ... others brought all kinds of gifts and throwing them on stage as if its a twisted baby shower.

4 babes in front of me get into a drunken fistfight over talking to each others girlfriends and shit ... man, it was absolutely crazy ...

I bailed that night as ALOT of people in the crowd did that werent the crazy fanatics ... standing in the lobby of the theater alot of these people had the same take as we did: Shitty night and a horrible crowd that took advantage of the cheep beer night offers.
