Chan Marshall (Cat Power) - Soft Focus interview

[@simonemarcenaro8377]

how can you not love this woman?

[@roycegrubic2620]

yes...but she's totally tweaked out or coked up in this interview....or clearly in need of a fix, whatever. We should be thankful that she survived that period of her life instead of saying how cute and quirky this is.

[@koko40800]

@@roycegrubic2620 you don't know that, so spare us your projections...that could just be her typical, restless/nervous energy...may be a lil on the manic side according to some ppl, but imo no need to judge, and nobody cares about your judgments anyway...Chan is just being herself in this interview, as she always does, and that's why we love her

[@MichelleTorez]

This looks like it was shot in the1970s. She is beautiful and I have most of her albums

Thank you for this upload. I love seeing Cat / Chan just having fun. Whatever terms that's on. I'm glad she's been doing better. Esp as of just recent. She's doing another walk at sobriety as of today. And I hope she keeps foing. We need her jere.

[@schmidtwill58]

I used to have such a crush on her! I only saw her once live and it was a disappointment. The friend I went hated her music, she was completely wasted and some guy tried to start a fight with me. What kind of A-hole starts a fight at a Cat Power concert?!?

[@chrisscott6727]

I still have a huge crush on her!!!

[@HauteLux]

This interview is so incredibly authentic. In the realm of "interviews" I would say that this is the state of mind most are in--but editing, coaching, managers, contracts, publicists, and barbiturates keep that behavior at bay. So what does the world see?...Super glamorous interviews where people do not embrace or own their insecurities, anxieties, disorders-- further perpetuating this american "brick in the wall" phony goal of "Normal". Watching this interview was, for me, cathartic. Sober or straight, our individual "issues" never escape us. Meaning OCD, ADD, Social Anxiety, all that shit doesn't disappear with sobriety. As an artist myself, I consider my rolodex of "issues" a trampoline for creativity. I really wish interviews like this were more mainstream. I think it would allow the families watching tv at night to say "wow, that is exactly how I would be in an interview" or "omg, I would be so nervous too" RATHER than watching letterman interview some celebutante, and thinking "wow, i really need to lose weight" or "wow, I am so unaccomplished". What the fuck is so terrible about being able to relate to people? Chan is by far the bravest, most authentic human being I have yet to see. Her neurosis are the incubator to her ideas and incredibly authentic personal work. The phrase "what is wrong with him or her" assumes that there is some manufactured, perfect version of the human species. Which there is NOT.

[@spittingblood]

Yeah well said.

[@opie3833]

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!! I am a musician, and I am also bipolar, which I have learned to use in my favor for creativeness, just like you said! My manic episodes are so beneficial to my writing!!! Well said!

This became really sweet and adorable the further it went along. Fun, playful interview with a master interviewer she clearly trusts and enjoys. (At the beginning i just wanted to hold her hand and say, you're doing great. But he did the same thing with his words and comforting energy.) And loved that impromptu taste of her new song when she reached peak confidence. She's magic. Well done to the both of them!

[@bruhdamartinasty3636]

LOL... no. He's not a "master interviewer." He made her 1000 times more nervous and fidgety than she had to be.

[@karllager2214]

Been in love with her since the late 90's.

[@gonzalovazquezavila535]

I love how in the intro, it seems like he had several topics in mind and like a whole plan thought out for the interview. But as soon as Chan began to talk, everything took a different turn. Edit: from 8:28 to 14:05 they do touch interesting topics. I just meant, that she is very unpredictable in her conversations.

[@BiteTheCurbNow]

Always loved this lady. What a great songwriter back in the 90s....
