I admit it: I love me some Melissa Etheridge. The rocker, lesbian mom, cancer survivor, environmental activist, political panelist, and all-around dyke icon has a new album coming out September 25, and I’m placing my pre-order now. (I also have two cats and love tofu; thankfully I can’t hit a softball to save my life, or I’d risk becoming one big stereotype.)
Etheridge seems to have had some coffee since her Academy Award-winning single, I Need to Wake Up, and has titled her new album The Awakening. Bay Windows has an interview with Etheridge in which she talks about Hillary Clinton, Paris Hilton, and threesomes, among other things (thankfully not in the same paragraph). After Ellen, as expected, also has a preview.
