  • Indie music legend Liz Phair rocked the music patriarchy back in the 1990s and in her new memoir she describes what it was like to be a young female musician in a male-dominated industry. She sits down with “CBS This Morning” co-host Anthony Mason to discuss how she feels about her first record, all these years later.

    Even through her insecurities, horrible experiences, self-doubt and all else, to me, Liz has been a SUPERNOVA from the second I got my grubby paws on that first album. I grew up in the 80's, listening primarily to hair bands, hard rock and metal. I had a crush on the girl who worked at the local music store who knew my taste in music and was watching me suffer through the downfall of that genre. She suggested I give Exile in Guyville a listen to see what I thought, since I wasn't really feeling the whole grunge thing at the time. Yes, this was literally my first indie album! I'm still to this day a huge indie fan. My music store crush may have moved on to memoryland, but Liz is still jammed in my house!

This is how to conduct a proper interview. Be courteous and respectful to the person you are interviewing like he was to her and don't ask them questions about their personal life or things they regret doing in their past. Keep the focus on their work and career accomplishments. More importantly, do a little research ahead of time so that you will know something about them.

I mean I was 10 when Exile came out so I couldn’t have listened to it then. But I love Liz Phair still today, all of her music.

    I have an LP collectoin of all the "classic rock" from the 60s/70s but I listen to that less and less frequently. I find her tunes more accessible and emotionally engaging than anything else from her era. Along with old-school rockabilly, Buddy Miller and some of the gals reviving country recently, her songs stay cued up on my player. The business is weird, to my ears most of the "big stars" put out high-gloss candy that gets old pretty fast. Well-chosen, simple guitar chords, nice melodies, can't beat it. He's from a different "school" but check out Buddy's "Love Grows Wild" for instance.

      you've never read the context of exile in guyville? Pretty much the scene was dominated with males in this pseudo clique known as guyville, where they thought to highly of themselves, sang about their hookups/sex and constantly demeaned phair and other women. Phair wrote the album, her "Exile in Guyville" while singing about similar subject matters in a more ironic, brutally honest way.
      That's what they meant with musical patriarhy.

      It might just be that she's older, but I think I get what you mean.
