Just a quick, typically late-breaking note to let you know that VH1 has just announced their idea of the "100
Greatest Women in Rock" (taken from a poll of musicians, writers, and industry types) and our very own
Ani D. is #90 on the list. As a result, watch for a brief segment on her (featuring a short clip of "Jukebox"
from the Hard Rock Live program) to be broadcast throughout the coming week. In fact, we've even got
alleged airdates for Ani's moment in the company of Aretha, Janis, Joni, and Lady Day:
Monday, July 26 @ 10 PM
Tuesday, July 27 @ 9 PM
Wednesday, July 28 @ 8 PM
Thursday, July 29 @ 7 PM
Friday, July 30 @ 6 PM
Saturday, August 1 @ 1 PM (marathon screening of all 100 artists)
Sunday, August 2 @ 4 PM (marathon screening)
As always, these airdates are subject to unexpected change (remember CNN?) and we don't really know
much more than you, so cross your fingers and don't blame us if you tune in and catch "Behind the Music:
Herman's Hermits" instead.
Check out the full list, plus an alternate one voted by VH1.com users (in which Ani is all the way up to #36)
and lots of bonus info about everyone from Bessie Smith to Patti Smith and beyond, at:
