How Melissa Etheridge Is Healing

Not so quietly, Melissa Etheridge has been grieving. At just In the book, you write a lot about your parents and about 21, Beckett Cypher, the son of Etheridge and her former now being a parent yourself.

I can look back and go, “Oh, this is what book, titled “Talking to My Angels.” The title is a reference it’s like to be a parent. This is what it’s like to have lived to the closing song off her 1993 Grammy-winning album your life and then have children.” And so, the older I get, “Yes I Am,” which established Etheridge as a rock force to the more knowledge I have, and the more understanding be reckoned with. I have of my parents and the events that happened in my In the book, which she summarizes in the foreword as childhood. “an ode to love,” Etheridge lays a lot on the line, delving into many of the intimate details of her sturdy four-decade How has being a parent yourself helped you better undermusic career, her romantic relationships, surviving cancer, stand your parents? losing Beckett and raising four children: Bailey Jean Cypheridge, Miller Steven Etheridge, Johnnie Rose Etheridge When we’re younger, we tend to blame our parents: “Well, and, of course, Beckett. if my mother had loved me more, then I wouldn’t be so sad or depressed.” And at some point in your adulthood, you Etheridge called me at the end of September while en have to go, “I can either keep looking back and blaming route to the Circle in the Square Theater on Broadway, and staying a victim or I can step up and go, ‘Maybe all where she was about to launch her “My Window” show, that happened, but that was the past and I’m not going to which was co-written by her wife, Linda Wallem-Ether- have it define me now.’” idge, and runs through Nov. 19. In a review by Laura With my first book, my mother was very mad at me for Collins-Hughes for The New York Times, Collins-Hughes quite a while.

And that’s I had three or four desires that I’ve been trying to do over the scientific way of looking at it. So who are we to say that the last decade, then they all came together at once.

queer parents, she cannot understand any sort of limitations because she didn’t grow up with that. So it makes absolutely no sense to her. She told me when she was an adolescent, “Mom, when you raised me, I actually thought there were at least as many gay people in the world as there were straight people,” because that’s all who she met. So she kind of comes from that equality place as a natural surrounding, but now she works for GLAAD, and she is very, very active and does so much because she does have such a sense of equality that she was raised with. I don’t have to tell you that the opioid crisis in America is devastating. And that hit home for you. Can you talk about what Beckett’s death inspired, which was the Etheridge Foundation?

Do you have a name for it? Do you call it anything? Well, I call it the nonphysical, and the power I call Source.

The path I’ve been on has been filled with a lot of understanding of plant medicine and psy-chedelics and how much it’s helped me, and how much I’ve seen in the research, how much it helps others. It especially does help in opioid use disorder as just a way to get through this and off of this. It doesn’t exist in the pharmaceutical world. And it’s as much of just gathering the research and the data to show folks, because there’s such a misunderstanding of it all. So that’s what the Etheridge Foundation does. It raises funds for research and testing. It’s not very easy because there’s a bunch of laws that are in the way. So it’s trying to change hearts and minds about all that.

Has the foundation helped you heal? In the book, you acknowledge your initial ambivalence to- Oh yeah, hugely, because I wanted to do something. I felt ward being a parent. Do you think that there’s something so helpless. And it does make me feel like there’s moveabout being a queer person, specifically a gay woman, that ment forward on this, and maybe I could help. This can shaped the way that you thought about parenthood? help someone somewhere. I don’t know if it has to do with that, necessarily.

It was part of what parents would be so upset about: “You’re never going to have children,” that sort of thing. I think that was my first kind of thought. And the second was, I didn’t exactly have great love and affection for my mother, and so I was kind of like, “Well, what’s being a mother mean?” It seemed like there was a lot that I wanted to do for myself, and I didn’t know if there was any room to take care of anyone else. But then it’s funny, and that’s the whole other journey in itself — when it happens, or if it happens or if it doesn’t, it doesn’t really matter. There’s no right or wrong to it. It’s just going to be what you’re going to walk in that moment, day to day. And with your music, how has parenthood shaped that aspect of your life? Couldn’t write those naughty love songs anymore. [Laughs.] Not when they were young, right? No. Because I wasn’t planning on children, I could write all those naughty songs and not worry about it, but now my kids are like, “Wow, what’s that?” But I grew up, and just growing up makes a big difference.
