Luscious Jackson Remember Screwing Up On Stage With Sheryl Crow

In the latest episode of Fuse's digital series Backatcha, Gabby Glaser and Jill Cunniff—aka 2/3 of Luscious Jackson—recount some of their first albums, videos and major festival gigs. Somehow, it involves Debbie Harry clutching a terrified-looking puppy, but hey, rock n' roll is a crazy business.

"Sheryl Crow came on stage to play harmonica and our DJ didn't realize that she was going to play harmonica," says Glaser, recounting a stage flub right off the bat. "She's about to play, and then he put on the sample of harmonica... and she's like, 'What the heck is going on?!'"

Luscious Jackson were one of the acts to join the positive, feminist festival Lilith Fair in the '90s, and they share a shot of festival founder and organizer Sarah McLachlan practicing with them backstage. "She came out on stage with us pretty much every night," says Cunniff. "All the girls would sing, and they'd really show off!"

Looking back on 1992's In Search of Manny, Luscious Jackson's first record, they say the art was inspired by an unexpected muse. Glaser's mother dated a 17-year-old named Manny when she was 34, and photos of him around the house inspired the cover for their first album.
