Music Meets Fashion Issue August September 2016

LET'S TALK
What is your favorite song you've ever
written?
My favorite song changes daily. It changes
with each show and with each response from
listeners. I am most proud of the songs that
make an impact. Right now, that would have
to be Big Bad Wolf because it makes people
laugh, but it?s about a really serious issue.
What?s the back story and inspiration
behind that song?
It?s about the fear that comes with being a
chick at a party and realizing that you?re being
preyed upon. I?ve caught some serious s? -
for the lyrical content of the song, but I?m
proud of the language it provides for women
to take back the power from those who have
objectified us, while still having a good time.
How did you all decide on the name of your
band?
Ronnie and I had gone through a lot of
terrible names with members of our old
band. When Ian joined we were still going by
my name because we couldn?t agree on
anything. I?m pretty sure the Love-in was the
result of opening up books on my shelf and
saying the first thing you pointed to on any
given page. I think it was from Electric
Kool-Aid Acid Test. At first it felt weird, but as
all of the current members joined, we grew
into it and it is exactly who we are, just a
group of people who really like hanging
together.
What artists inspire you the most?
Most of us were reared on classic rock. We
love Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, the Doors, Big
Brother and the Holding Company, and It's
