Mona Lisa

Yes, she's Elvis Presley's daughter, and no, she doesn't like to talk about it. But she does have a strong new album, To Whom It May Concern, and is playing Stubb's tonight (Thursday), so a guarded, succinct Lisa Marie Presley is on the phone from Omaha, Neb., where she's hours away from playing her first rodeo.

TCB: What kind of music did you like growing up?

Lisa Marie Presley: I liked a pretty wide variety. Any strong female vocalist like Ann Wilson of Heart or Pat Benatar. I'm a huge Elton John fan, early Elton John. Pink Floyd. I went through various phases.

TCB: What's the funniest thing you've read about yourself in a tabloid?

LMP: Funniest ... I think there's one right now that's saying I'm pregnant and moving back to Graceland.

TCB: Was there a lot of music around Graceland when you were growing up?

LMP: Always. Always.

TCB: What kind?

LMP: Usually gospel. And pop, too. All kinds of music. Everyone would break out singing, or start playing something and singing. There was always something happening.

TCB: What's the coolest thing about being Elvis Presley's kid?

LMP: I don't even know how to answer that question.
