What is your legacy?
Submitted by Beautifully Broken.
That will be tough. It will probably be my contributions to American literature. Or it might be my marriage to John Cusak or when I left him for Matt Dillon. Some will say it's my grammy-winning duet with Mike Doughty, or the biography I wrote about Liz Phair, which was turned into a movie and garnered me an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.
I hope that's not it though. After getting too Hollywood, I spent many years in dedicating my life to doing charity work and teaching writing to kids in poor school districts. That's when I settled down with my one true love, and wrote my Nobel-prize winning memoir.
But I am sure that off all the many, many high points in my life the one that I will be most remembered for and willy truly be my legacy is the successful campaign to get Brownies named the national dessert of the USA will be remembered long after I am gone.
Whose memoirs would you most like to read?
Probably mine. After leading this life who wouldn't want to read my memoirs?
Someone's writing a biography of your life (to date). What is the best/worst chapter of the book?

Well, that will be tough. We know it won't be the early chapters. That'll just be too boring. Though after the publication of my first book, things get interesting. There's the Nobel, the Pulitzer, the Macarthur genius grant, too many to list really and is that really of any interest? Probably not. My stormy first marriage to Matt Dillon would probably interest people, and the whole "she's the new Yoko" crap they were spewing once I hooked up with Carl Newman.
Oh, oh and the whole "What a Dick" scandal that plagued my sister's appointment to the Department of Health and Human Services might be of interest to some.
I think what will be the most interesting chapter is my induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The stirring speeches given by both Daby and Hotrod in my honor. There wasn't a dry-eye in the house, especially when Hotrod talked about how my musical influence changed the course of his life. Well, who wouldn't cry?. And how they got Paul Westerberg and Mike Doughty to duet on Achin' to Be is really beyond me, but probably one of the most memorable moments of my life. Really, they are so kind and generous. I get choked up just thinking about it.
