Hello Birmingham Lyrics

Cover art for Hello Birmingham lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Her lack of faith in religion, anti-gun stance, pro-choice feminism, it's all mildly apparent here. Dr. Slepian was an abortion provider (or something along those lines) who was murdered. The song sort of alludes to her own abortion as well as to Slepian's death at the hands of a sniper. Lots of ironies and a great blend of her political fervor and personal feelings. Lovely song.
