Amazing lady and outstanding interview !

[@marycahill546]

Wow! What a wise as well as talented woman!

[@eileencole1780]

What a remarkable and inspiring woman. Bill Boggs really knows how to interview woman, thank you!

[@wotan10950]

Brilliant interview! I’ve often said that Judy Collins doesn’t need a spotlight onstage; she’s illuminated from within.

[@markthompson4804]

What a great interview with a great icon of music I’ve learned a lot about Judy I’ve never known and who I’ve idolized for years what a great lady!

@@Billboggs - I don't use any social media Bill except for LinkedIn (with my real name). But, I have followed your career for a long time. I was a senior publicist at WABC-TV in the 70s for The Stanley Siegel Show. The late Siegal was competitive but he liked how you did your shows. I think your interview spots now on BillBoggs TV are excellent. Conversational. You ask good questions, you let the guest answer & you listen. Keep doing it, no one else currently does it with the sincerity & respect you have. (You are also well-researched which makes the conversation flow easily). But you always did & 4 Emmys prove it.

@@lastrada52 Thank you..

What an absolutely beautiful and insightful interview. Thank you.

Yes, this explains so much about her appeal to me, and the questions I've long wanted to ask her.

Happy 80th Birthday Judy Collins

Judy truly has the loveliest voice I've ever heard

Thanks for mentioning "The Artist's Way". Delightful interview with a delightful woman.

[@frontlineobservationdeck2142]

ROFL. artist's way?

[@dustyrose5825]

I love Bill Boggs's interviews because he really knows the music and the work of the people he interviews. He asks the questions I would ask. :)

[@maureenhorrigan7151]

Pretty Polly is the song I love JudyCollins to sing

[@Pravda_Z]

I couldn't disagree more.

[@brucemonterosso2493]

Judy Blue Eyes 💙💙💙💙

[@daninnj8580]

I CANNOT believe she gave you the opening - SHE brings up "being a groupie, well more than a groupie for Stephen" and you didn't jump on it. Besides being the worlds foremost mystical songstress with that amazing voice, she is the SUBJECT of one of the biggest rock songs in history and everyone who interviews her fails to mention it.

[@Billboggs]

This is edited version of full interview...client did not want that

[@mh-on7fp]

Dan InNJ , I understand your enthusiasm, however, many interviews with Judy have talked about the relationship of which you speak. Keep looking, I’m sure you’ll find many. Yes, “the (brief) affair” seems to have meant much more to Stephen (and produced some of his best music) than it did to Judy; perhaps that is why it comes up more often in rock ‘n’ roll themed videos.

[@annsmith7207]

Love you, Judy! Máire

[@broddybounce]

This popped up on my KZbin feed. Big fan of Judy's AND I remember you so well, Bill, having grown up in New Rochelle (now West Coast). Terrific interview! One question, though: when did it take place? Thanks so much, Bill!

[@Billboggs]

This was about 2009. Thanks forking words. If you can pls follow me on Instagram @realbillboggs

[@henrygrove100]

Thank you for writing me an email regarding my brother. Singing Lessons helped me so much.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Bill Boggs asks the best questions.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

I tried to ask Max Margulies about having voice lessons once, and he said he only worked, exclusively, with Judy Collins! So he must have been on her payroll. I also met Michael Sahl who wrote a couple of songs for her.

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

A mirical.

[@jimhynes6316]

Still the best

[@leahaltmann3826]

bs"d 'Send in the Clowns' helped me when I felt distant from someone I cared about... I knew someone else had felt that way.

[@leahaltmann3826]

bs"d I was so heartbroken when I read in a magazine article that she had lost her son. How could this happen. To the beautiful people. It's still hard to accept; someone who gives so much, on stage, and now in a podcast. It's a mystery, how these tragedies happen, because I have seen them striking in such unexpected places. There are so many factors that determine how long a specific soul can stand the rigors of life in a physical body in whatever that person's social setting and set of requirements may be, and I believe that everyone lives out their full hundred and twenty years, just that some people do it more quickly because they live more intensely, so that they accomplish the same amount, in human achievement, that another person would accomplish in a hundred and twenty. He must have touched many lives in a very giving and helpful way, which perhaps left him 'burned out' already in his twenties. Sometimes family members will never know what a positive and dynamic impact their little one has had on other contacts, in other places, before they can't go on any more. A soul gets tired, from too many difficult challenges. It can't always hang on. My sister said, re. someone we both know, 'if it wouldn't have been that, maybe it would have been something else, maybe a plane accident; maybe it was her time'. It's all a mystery. One story, about a couple who lost a two-year old and went to see a pastoral counselor, is that the counselor explained that this child had lived before, a very long and noble life, but he was missing two years of achievement, and so he was reincarnated into this couple's baby, and by giving him a good life for two years, they helped his soul complete its mission, and they should be proud that they cared for such a noble soul in the two years of infancy and early toddlerhood. There is so much to be proud of!

It's not that suicide survivors are shut down, I don't think, but that the suicide must be because it can be very contagious; one suicide encourages another.

50 albums

[@bmxultra2333]

I've always enjoyed Judy Collins' voice, but I had no idea she'd released 50 albums. MasterOfMyDomain.guru

[@harvey1954]

Joe Boyd, Ms. Collins, is not English. He was born in Boston.

[@M_Ladd]

Fantastic woman! Appears that she had a stroke?

[@lenwelch2195]

There is something sad about the self absorption of celebrities. There is just so much of what they do that seems to them so important but in reality people will forget 5 mins after hearing of their death. They become fans of themselves.

[@Pravda_Z]

Judy is definitely a case in point!

[@67marlins81]

@@Pravda_Z Self-absorption, I think you may also mean self-righteous.....

[@frontlineobservationdeck2142]

Too bad she had to bring up her DWL politics. it's off putting. Photographs of her with a perpetrator, Bill Clinton, is ill advised. I doubt Monica Lewinsky is a fan. It's easy for rich people to have these deluded beliefs since they are protected from the real world. Sad.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

@@frontlineobservationdeck2142 These comments are what is truly sad. You have no clue what it takes for someone like her, or Frank Sinatra, to deliver the performances they do, to transport people and make them feel exalted. I still remember vividly the time I heard her sing live in 1974. She cares about the world. That's self-centered? Give me a break. No, you people are, you care nothing about anyone but yourselves.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

And if they didn't bring forward their good values, which, by the way, Frank Sinatra did plenty of, who would? That was their generation, and they were better about it than the current one. Her only statement I disagree with fundamentally is that the personal is the source of politics, but that was a common philosophy of the time, and a reaction to the institutional, structural liberalism that existed.

[@alexistarr]

She looks absolutely fantastic for an 80 year old, and it's great to hear that's she's still performing; long may that continue. I don't hold her connections with the Clinton crime family against her; she is clearly sincere in her beliefs and a lot has changed over the last couple of decades.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Don't be stupid.

Someone who wrote a ballad to a Marxist, and championed abortion......what respect I wanted to have evaporated, sadly.

She clearly donates to good causes, she would otherwise be far more wealthy and ostentatious.
