Joni Mitchell interview part 2

[Dorkmister]

I loved this and her. Peace and Love.

I agree with the other posters -- the interviewer Hege Duckert did a fine job -- meaty, intelligent questions that Joni sounded like she enjoyed answering. AND the interviewer allowed Joni to answer with no interupting. It was informative and worth listening to more than once. Joni is a charming interview. She's also informative, smart and interesting. This was a great pairing. Other interviewers can learn from both Part 1 and 2.

She's the most creative musical artist alive today.

to be vulnerable in the 80's is death itself, isn't it?hahhahaha i love it!:)

A fantastic interview! What a pity the songs are missing!

[lazurm]

This was the best interview I've even seen of Joni. I finally understand why she doesn't produce the beautiful folk poetry her fame had been based on. Her depictions of the music industry, its connection to the business end, and how musical acceptance is so dependent on cultural moment was amazingly cogent, revealing and lucid. Thanks for posting this. It was incredible!

If Joni had a small horse named Tony, and she married Jimi Hendix's old drummer, let's just assume he's alive, and she carried on the horse a sack to hold her guitar, she would be Joni Mitchell Mitchell with satchel on a pony named Tony. It makes one ponder.........

[TheSimplyDaft]

Thank you for posting this. It made my life worth living.

[ZEITGEISTism]

Lol I love it that she just lights up a cigarrete in the middle of the interview so natural and ALLOWED those were the days!!

[baward]

Good questios bring out that kind of insightful response, I think. So well done the interviewer! :-)

[benicialisa]

Wow I feel stupid just trying to respond to that interview it was so good. Stunning and I've been a Joni devotee for 36 years. She continues to amaze. Thank you Joni

[SherrieLeaLaird]

She talks of exactly what the government is doing at 3:40 ish

[lullabye604]

Thank the Universe for the brilliance of a woman of eternity to speak of Universal Power and love, rather than individual instant self gratification, but of pure love reaching and joining all, is the mark of one who receives "messages" in an instant, is a wonderful thing which deserves to be put in line with those of the Dali Lama, Sung Yin Sue Chi, defending an entire country and culture, spreading hope for the future is the mark of a "Spiritual Warrior" and a woman to be honored.

[SkeeterNYC]

At 1:32, right on, Joni. I hope to we never have to endure fucking Madonna or whom ever singing "Imagine" again at one of these benefits ever again. Like the Katrina one.

[lllwindrunner]

This woman is always so interesting to hear speak or sing. She's the real and smart meaning of the word "cool" before that word was abused to death.

[ahftres]

An excellent, revealing interview. Thank you for posting. A new box set of Joni is due for release in November 2009, carn't wait!

[okhan001]

[quillber]

she looks so beautiful here

[PoetryMan11]

Thanks for posting this interview HittingImage. Hege Duckert really did a great job drawing out Joni with very thoughtful questions. My favorite was in the last 2.5 min when Joni explained the difference between intellect and instinct and intuition.

Her ability to know witrhout needing to explain such knowing in rational terms is a lot of what makes Joni such a sparkling creative jewel. Joni MItchell knows what she is about and Hege Duckert got her to share that with the audience. Good job.

[SoundMindNBody]

I agree... the questions were really perfect for someone of Joni's ilk. Far more thoughtful and thought-provoking and really required a lot of introspection on Joni's part to answer. And I love the fact that Joni is a strong enough character to answer a question so candidly even if it shed light on flaws or insecurities. Really a terrific interview... thanks again to HittingImage for posting!

"people are taught in these cultures how to be sexy.....there's a lot of emphasis on how to be sexy, and very little on to be loving..." ain't it the truth??

[PoetryMan11]

hege period duckert at dagbladet period no

When I wrote her she was surprised that the interview had even been preserved, let alone posted on youtube.

[marchartl]

in the 80's i think she smoked camels. now she smokes american spirits.

[xfiles]

when was this interview done? I'm curious. She's such a great artist.

[HittingImage]

It was done in the spring of 1988.

[baggizz]

Wonderful! Too bad the musical passages are cut...
