Comedienne Margaret Cho recently spoke with PrefixMag.com to promote her new album. Her new comedy/music album unabashedly has pop leanings and was meticulously produced. Cho Dependent also features collaborations from Tegan and Sara, Andrew Bird, Jon Brion, Grant Lee Phillips, and Fiona Apple. Cho Dependent’s songs go back and forth from being more musically or more comedically compelling.
Here’s what Margaret Cho had to say about hair metal:
PrefixMag.com: There's a lot of people in my age range who only know '80s revival music but don't associate it with the politics and context of the '80s that helped shape it. Has that ever concerned you?
Margaret Cho: Yeah, but I like all the music from the '80s, even the late-'80s stuff. I think there was even something worthwhile in hair metal and all these things that I wasn't really into at the time. Now I'm super into hair metal. I like early Guns N' Roses, and I've been reading Steven Adler's biography, and I'm super into that rock history because I never lived it at the time, I wasn't into heavy metal at all. But now I'm really curious and getting into that. When I do another album I kinda want to do metal, because metal is a really common form of comedy music. I mean, one of the greatest metal bands of all was Spinal Tap.
