[Actually, this is more of a "nugget" but hey in honor of the Something Stupid duet and These Boots Are Made for Walking]
[I don't know, if you give Nancy the brush off, wouldn't the mafia get you or something? I don't think Nancy Sinatra is a singer or anything -- despite the songs of hers that I do love -- but she's still a solid enough part of the Hollywood pantheon that I wouldn't condescend to her. Of course, she's like an adult contemporary artist, not "rock" by any means]

Nancy Sinatra: ‘Shifting Gears,’ but still walking tall
By James Reed | Globe Staff November 30, 2013
Q. In 2004, you released a self-titled album with songs written by the likes of Morrissey, Bono, Jarvis Cocker, and Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore. Were you prepared for how well it did?
A. The self-titled album was a revelation to me. My daughter A. J. pulled that together. I used to always complain that musicians hate me. I was talking about my peers. I would meet someone like Stevie Nicks, and she wouldn’t give me the cold shoulder, exactly, but she wasn’t friendly. With people like Stevie Nicks — the in crowd, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame crowd — I’m like Rodney Dangerfield: I got no respect from them. A. J. said, “Mom, you don’t get it. You’re talking to the wrong musicians.” And she pulled in Sonic Youth, Jon Spencer, Pete Yorn, Calexico. Morrissey I already knew.
