I Would Like To Inspire

In Blues, Classical And Jazz, You Get More Revered With Age.

Since I Was 20 Years Old, I've Been A Kind Of Corporation. I'd Wake Up In The Morning And My Job Was To Be 'bonnie Raitt' In Capital Letters.

I Have Been Really Heartened By How Much Coverage There Has Been About Inequality Of Pay Across The Board, Between The Entertainment Industry And Almost Every Industry Worldwide. And Just The Problem Of Young Women Not Getting An Education, Not Being Able To Have An Equal Position In The Cultures All Around The World.

I'm Glad People Think I'm A Badass. I'm A Rock And Roller, And I'm An R&b And A Blueswoman. I Don't Do Fairy Music, Although I Love Celtic Music And Sensitive Music. There's A Balance Between Ballads And Kick-ass Songs.

I Would Love To See A Revival Of What We Had Against The War In The '60s - We Could Do These Teach-ins On The Internet, Live And Split Screen, And Have Real In-depth Debate Between People That Are On The "other" Side Of Issues - Nuclear, Gun Control, Whatever. We Could Really Be Having A Much More Democratically Involved And Exciting Debate With People Emailing Their Questions And Having A Virtual Town Meeting.
