Well no, not really. Given that she was first married ten years ago and has a two year old kid I think news has had time to travel in the interim.

Whatever you think of her music she is the closest thing the music industry has to another Ian Mackaye - she sells a shit load of records on her own label, does so in an ethical manner, uses that power to support other artists, is politically active and has always refused to sign with a major despite the major financial incentives being dangled in front of her etc. So I don't get the Alanis comparison at all. Whether you like the music or not you are comparing an artist of genuine substance with someone who got real big real fast parlaying a middle aged man's idea of feminism to be mass marketed to surburban America as "edgy" art. Artistically it's as chalk n cheese as David Coverdale and Ian Curtis, unless it is Ani DiFranco's old school Socialist politics and the Adbusters mien of her fans that really bother you in which case rave on John Donne, rave on.
