So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter


So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter is the second live album by singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco, released in 2002.
The opening track of the second disc, "Comes a Time", is an excerpt from the famous speech by Mario Savio, given before Free Speech Movement demonstrators entered Sproul Hall to begin their sit-in on December 3, 1964. His climactic words about "the operation of the machine" have been quoted widely ever since, out of context, as the existential emblem of the FSM.
