NAME: Joely Napolitano

AGE: 26

WHERE DO YOU LIVE? I’m here for the summer, living on Capitol Hill. I’m from Hollywood.

WHAT DO YOU DO? In Hollywood I drive taxicabs. Hopefully I won’t be working at all while I’m here.

ARE YOU RELATED TO JOHNETTE NAPOLITANO FROM CONCRETE BLONDE? Not that I know of. I’ve never heard of her.

WHADCHAGIT? Songs in A Minor by Alicia Keys.

WHAT’S THE STORY WITH MS. KEYS? She’s a diva-in-the-making. Britney, Christina, all those girls—they wish they had the talent she has. My friend played me the song “Woman’s Worth,” and I had to get the CD.

WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITES? Macy Gray, Aretha, Tina Turner, Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest.

HAVE YOU BEEN TO ANY SHOWS IN SEATTLE YET? Well, I’m going to that block party thing, and I heard Jill Scott is going to be here. But I’ve only been here for a few weeks now.

HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO HOLLYWOOD? Well, you don’t get the gross muscle men and the half-naked women in bikinis around here, so that’s good.
