Are there any female musicians that you sort of feel are stepping up and challenging the rock canon, or at the very least making great music today?
I have to be honest — I haven’t seen a lot of the newer artists that have surprised me. I still kind of go with my old standbys. We just went to see Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. I actually interviewed [Stevie] when I was pregnant with my daughter, for MTV, and so last summer we went to see Stevie at Jones Beach, and Cicely, my daughter, drew her this really cool picture. She gave it to her and Stevie said, “I’ve gotten a lot of pictures from people and I can tell you, this one’s actually good.” There’s just certain people that … I don’t know if there’s ever going to be another Stevie Nicks or another Chrissie Hynde or Joni Mitchell or Laura Nyro. I don’t know what this generation is going to produce or if the environment will allow that person to evolve in the way that those artists got to evolve.
