is my second music-related post in one week.
 Salon has
an

with podcast, with

 The occasion is the forthcoming release of her new album,

 The interview is not so much about the album; it's more about
her political views, and a little bit of rock and roll history.
 If you do visit the page, be sure to download the

interview.

than to read a transcript.

tumultuous time in my life.  But this is a time of healing for
me.  I wish I could say the same for our country, and for the
countries were we have unraveled the social fabric.
