This Week in TGIF: Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt is as passionate about politics as she is about music

It’s 10 a.m. The phone rings. It’s Bonnie Raitt. She’s playing a one-nighter tomorrow at the Waikiki Shell, and, as always, there’s somethin’ — a lot actually — to talk about. There’s the Grammy Award Raitt won last month, of course, but also a few other things she hopes you care about: music on the Internet, “safe energy,” taking back control of the political process in America.
