How Alanis Morissette tapped into female rage and changed music for good

[@yamil.343]

I hope she writes her memoir one day. She’s a uniquely fascinating being.

[@JacobAldaco]

She's read all those books behind her. She is super informed, very intelligent. Beautiful too, very real. Been listening to her music since I was 12 years old.

[@life.unrestricted.withmere7354]

Extraordinary woman with incredible wisdom, presence and boundless creativity. Without her, my becoming would've been arrested. Thank you!

[@GabrielPires_BR]

I love her new album! It's so good to see her again after all these years making music. I really hope she makes something special for the 25th anniversary of "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" album. It's her best record so far.

[@andy8335]

Not going to happen. I'd love it too but just not even on her radar.

[@peacesofme]

I can't even pick a favorite... I LOVE them all!

[@sonatak304]

It's so good seriously

[@sfij98]

This is by far one of the best interviews I’ve seen of her. Great job by the interviewer. You can tell he did his research.

[@PerylStreep]

OMG, I could hear her talk all day long! She's so clever! I've been a proud fan for 15 years now!

[@HaydzerTV]

She’s amazing,grew up with her music as my sad was a musician, but her realistically approach to life and her realisations are flawless and gives me so much energy to live

[@moukateldan]

Wow as a devoted fan this is one of the most interesting interviews she did in a really long time! The title is doing harm to how great conversation it is, maybe you should consider changing it to something like ’Alanis talking 25 years in the music industry’. Anyway thank u for this great 45 min 🙏❤️

[@vin0720]

Indeed. I wanted to know if her song Symptoms (i love most) is connected to reckoning. Indeed a very informative interview.

[@moukateldan]

@@vin0720 Symptoms to Reckoning? I really want to hear your claim haha. Symptoms it's a political song & Reckoning it's about her former manager who stole money from her.

[@vin0720]

Yeah because my bottomline is both political and financial. Story somehow resembles at some parts (for my own understanding). Wish u could post a video of her singing Symptoms, live. ❤️

[@moukateldan]

@@vin0720 really interesting!

[@blinderII]

I always enjoy her interviews, and this one was fascinating! I could listen to her all day.

[@escapethehatetrix]

She's god damn wonderful. What a uniquely pleasant interview!

[@burgesssam]

This is such a great conversation

[@at_brunch3836]

Laughter will always be the best medicine. Great interview ~ Two lovely passionate Canadians. Party on ~

[@vesperthing1815]

What a nice conversation. I’m glad I found an interview that does tackle her new record. Interviewees mostly ask her only about Jagged Little Pill.

[@jeanettejohansen7912]

Thoughtful, intelligent, inspiring! You, too, Tom Power. Great interview.

[@revaholic]

I'm a huge Alanis fan but about Hands Clean around 16:15 - I think the reason why it didn't spark a conversation is that the song is pretty cryptic in a way. It's not obvious unless you are dissecting the lyrics that there's a change in perspective and so the song almost sounds like she is accepting the improper relationship as a secret. And maybe that's the genius of is is that it's concealed in a pop song

[@heidimueller1039]

This was absolutely fascinating. What a brilliant woman!

[@MundoDeFrankGarcia]

She is beautiful

[@thethirdcrouch]

that's a good point about anger

[@shelleyrightmyer6421]

Ilove you somuch miss ❤

[@amyyoung8954]

Great interview. Thank you.

[@dbsasouthcoast468]

I just love how “real” she is😊

[@melissawilson4796]

I love this woman, she is incredible!!

[@android429]

Canada 🇨🇦 misses You... but we’re holding space for ya 😉 lol. Congratulations on your new album ❤️. Would love to work with you here in Ottawa on “raising the vibration” of eastern Ontario. Hope to at the very least see you at Bluesfest next summer... you should bring the kids, and head into cottage country for an adventure . Thank you for a beautiful interview! 🙏🏼🥰🍀

[@garfieldharrison510]

It's amazing that Jagged Little Pill was her homerun moment. She said she sublimate everything. It helped her to reach for those lyrics at the time. Therapy can be more expensive. Just sublimate ,and create a great album or a painting or beautiful children for the world. Like how she conveyed because we sublimate there is anger seeping through the cracks. It's complicated. I could imagine her teaching her children to love people and respect. Her children are White and coming up hopefully with dealing with all children. Alanis is probably an awesome Mom. She is bring up people that is a part of her spirit. So there is hope for the world.

[@scottcrosby-art5490]

Always had a soft spot for her

[@deedeeR123]

Great interview especially the last 2 questions!

[@nealm6764]

Good interview questions and follow-ups. Reckoning sounds really good. I will have to check the new album out.

[@DunrobinOntario]

She seems brilliant in many ways❤

[@eleanor4759]

She is wonderful.

[@bekkw6248]

I loved this!

[@jamborita4644]

So beautiful ❤❤

[@rhymeandreasoning]

Two of the biggest albums ever are celebrating TWENTY FIVE years. BOTH FEMALE ARTISTS. BOTH CANADIAN. Alanis, & Shania

[@herbertndekiii228]

Love 💕 her!!!!

[@scirasco1]

Beautiful woman

[@lancefarrellance]

i love that term snowed, good one .

[@yay-cat]

ooooo Alanis! 💛

[@shannonsteiner8423]

Ironically, Ironic wasn’t really written with words that are Ironic, it was written for fun and entertainment, Ironic, isn’t it.

[@ronwalboom3409]

Respect !!!

[@burgesssam]

She seems so cool! Love the record too. Side-note: is the Cleese video down for good or only temporarily?

[@SharonBrunelle-o7h]

Ur unique😊

[@moukateldan]

🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@nhvkuy4675]

I just found out how I'll sniff out the misogynists while dating on the internet. I'll just put on my dating profile that I like Alanis Morissette

[@63artemisia63]

I look forward to at least one Alanis song about menopause and premenopause, a ten-year process nobody talks about. I was researching story, when I read that many members of the Obama admin were going through menopause during his two terms. Then I realized that, yes, those years are often when women rise to their highest levels of competence. A better way to say that may be that that decade is when they’re finally given credit for the knowledge and power they’ve worked for since their teens or twenties. Since Alanis is at “that age,” or nearing it, I hope she’ll speak about the challenges and rewards in her work. And the common fear that women have, beginning in their 20s, that they’ll be old, ugly, undesirable, not valuable, etc. after menopause. Speaking of age, I sincerely hope she’s not coloring her hair. 😘

[@doro626]

Can anyone direct me? I was listening to an interview of her on NPR and they played a clip of kids in school (sounded almost like an SNL skit) and I am guessing the kid ( lil Alanis?) did the song Ironic for the class and the class kept stopping her, to point out that those things were not ironic. ANyone know what that's from?

[@SM-BSW]

You can't do that on television. It was a popular Nickelodeon show back in the day.

[@emmashaye]

grey area or bust :)

[@brijmsn]

Fame is invasive and traumatizing when you didnt sign up for it.

[@kaleidoscopeeyes6681]

I love how you can tell when the interviewer has no idea what kind of metaphors, and imagery she is using lol

[@nealm6764]

Me 2 died when they gave Biden a free pass.
