I don't know if this will embarrass Melissa Etheridge at all, but Taylor Swift's sophomore album is entitled Fearless, and the title track is about the fearlessness of falling in love. I mean, Etheridge is 29 years Swift's senior, so she probably doesn't, and shouldn't, give a crap about what Swift does, but it's interesting to note all the same.

Speaking to Rolling Stone about Fearless Love, Etheridge said, “I told [producer John Shanks] that I wanted to make a record that’s a hundred miles an hour all the time — unabashedly drawing from my all of my influences,” she says. “What we’ve done rocks harder than I’ve rocked in years. There’s a couple of ballads on it, but the majority of it is just really slamming.”

So, Melissa Etherdige fans, you have to ask yourselves one question: Are you ready to rock? Well, are you?
