Judy Collins talks royalites, coping with depression and the Muppets

[@Themanwhocameback2]

Yes, ,Judy is chipper, but also so incisive and witty. And the interview gallops along without a dull moment. Amazing. She looks great and the guy is so pleasant and attractive.

This is a truly great interview!! So many others are so superficial and boring. Thank you for this

[@StingrayMusic]

She really was a wonderful guest!

[@stevenwatson7668]

I agree so rare to see the true underbelly of the performance of truly professional artists whether they are vocalist or visual.

[@patrarus6097]

Thank you for posting this excellent interview. I have been a fan for years and did not know all of this about beloved Judy. She is an inspiration and an exceptional talent on so many levels.

Love Love Love Judy she only gets better with age. She has an angelic voice. So open and honest .

[@MsThebeMoon]

I had no idea her son committed suicide. How tragic. ... moving on, what an excellent interview. I love her down to earthness and her openness. Always loved her and still remember vividly seeing her in concert in the late 80's. And her singing is as beautiful as it ever was. I will have to check out her books. What a beautiful soul she is.

So lucky that he lived to give her a granddaughter.

The interviewer as charming and nice to look at as the interviewee.....

"Since You Asked" is the first real feminist song for me. The first time I heard on the radio, I saved up my money to buy her album, "Wildflowers." I was in the 4th grade and I remember asking my Dad to take me to the record shop to get her album. He was happy to escort me to the shop. I think he bought "Hot Tuna."

[@beaupianiste3738]

Wildflowers was also my first album, vinyl, of course, and loved the singing, the songs and the arrangements.

Judy Collins is delightfully chipper here, and clearly she has good taste in Sondheim songs. "Pretty Women", "Green Finch and Linnet Bird", and "I Remember" are three of my very favorites. I almost literally bumped into Judy Collins back in the early nineties, I think it was. I was in a department store (which no longer exists) in Illinois called "Media Play" oblivious to my surroundings and stopped about one foot short of colliding into an attractive small woman with huge eyes. She was standing in the middle of the store singing and playing guitar, and no one had thought to turn off the store's piped-in Muzak, which was continuing at full blast and turning Judy Collins's music into dissonant cacophony. The experience must have been dreadful for her, but she soldiered on. It seems clear to me now that I ought to have complained to some store employee, but I doubt it would have done any good. Similar experiences from around that time had taught me that the cacophony of competing machine-generated music now abounds, and that in general music had ceased to be valued as music. By then, as now, it was mainly embraced for its symbolism. It had become a kind of walking ghost--dead, but not acknowledged as dead.

Wonderful interview. But concerning the background noise, I fully agree with Dan Smith

[@ItIsJustJudy]

I loved her on Sesame Street. 😊

[@silveryfoxx]

What is with the annoying background music? Why does everything today have to have a soundtrack? That irritating guitar being plucked with only 2 or 3 chords… it's like being put on hold with that 'loop' going thru your head for 20 minutes until a live person comes on to talk. I want to hear this wonderful woman talk, I don't want to hear someone's BAD idea of mindless filler in the background… pant pant pant… Judy Judy Judy… Wildflowers I have to say was probably one of the best 'soundtracks' of my young life, still is.

[@OShaughnessyC]

Fully agree. So annoying.

[@omikronweapon]

I really want to hear the interview but the strumming stresses me out. I skipped ahead, hoping it was just some guy in the background practicing for a few minutes...

[@terrymoore565]

Depression is the easiest thing to figure out, as soon as you get ride of the lies about chemical imbalance and stay away from SSRIs, you can take the time to understand why your unhappy... Its right there in front of you all the time ! The answers are all there..

[@omikronweapon]

Background music makes this very hard to enjoy.
