The name Grace Slick rings a bell! The Reeducation of Alex Macpherson as sequel to The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, I like that.

I agree with you about 'Gimme More', and generic pop-r&b in general, but the World At Large sadly doesn't share this fondness - I remember 'Me Against The Music' getting PANNED, but it's actually pretty good apart from when Madonna comes in sounding geriatric. It's all about pronouncing "you could die" as "chickadah".

Britney's already had her Tori moment, 'Everytime' was v reminiscent of an early Amos b-side called 'Upside Down' (but more little and more lost).

Blackout is a great title but I was really rooting for the Lohan one :(

I want her to cover Lou Reed's "They're Taking Her Children Away."

Grace Slick sang lead in a couple of rock bands in the 1960s. A few of her lyrics drew on novels by Lewis Carroll and James Joyce. I think of her when I hear Hole's "Violet" and Fleetwood Mac's "Gold Dust Woman" and the raveup that consumes the last half of the live "Rhiannon."
