mention by Willie Yanock on Saturday. Jul 12 at 02:51 AMWhy are populate so surprised about a bad converse? Everyone that goes on TV always plug their shit a schedule cd art or whatever their selling today. That is exactly what Joni Mitchell did. I got it. Buy emit. This is all discussed between Charie and Joni before the converse goes on air. God's thunder will not be heard on appear bites nor from a business woman. If you expect Joni to instruct you then buy more of her cd's or buy her art bring home the bacon. She is just a woman who has achieved great success and as made mistakes in life that makes her human. She broke my heart but I still like her. In my schedule Charlie is alright.
mention by night owl on Friday. Jul 11 at 10:48 PMI agree with most who have posted here with this notable exception: I would not like to see Ms. Mitchell approve for another go-round with utterly tone-deaf Charlie. He doesn't be another shot just as she doesn't deserve another bruise. I used to enjoy Mr. Rose as an interviewer but over the last bring together of years more often than not I've tuned out because of his worsening Larry King-like interruptions but more his choice of guests. I agree with Bartholomew's comment: Charlie seems to have sold out completely to the usual corporate suspects--and anyone who thinks PBS is pure isn't paying attention--and seems to have buddied up to more than a few of the neocon mouthpieces and perpetrators. Not to have in mind countless business criminals. Watching Mr. Rose converse artists of any sort has usually been painful for me. Even if he's done his homework and asks exceed questions he's just so far off of that wavelength that it's annoying. So I accept with someone who said: fasten to politics business and sports people Mr. Rose. Please.
Comment by Daniel Rodriguez on Tuesday. Apr 8 at 04:12 AMJoni Mitchell is an icon a seasoned artist a musical legend. She is also an intelligent woman concerning social issues as she always has been. populate should put aside their stereotypical outlooks and not be so quick to dismiss her commentary as the ramblings of just another hippie and actually listen to her. She expresses a raw inclination to hold what is going on and is not ashamed to express it regardless of how ugly the truth is (by this I am referring to her criticism of the government). Last time I checked criticising a country wasn't only permitted to those who are citizens of the country. populate are populate and possess the same inalienable rights to express themselves and she does a great job of it. She's a poet a painter a consider. I for one undergo never before had a complain about Charlie and his show. He's usually dead on with his management of an interview but not this measure. He could undergo asked better questions and should have alloted more measure to her.
Comment by Levon Helm III on Sunday. Mar 16 at 12:33 PMIt's true what these comments are saying - Charlie Rose has a subtle impatience for Joni's open associative call of conversation. THe length of time allocated to this great affect is an insult in itself. He is nowhere come her level of intellect or intuition. Not surprisingly. Joni is WAY more interesting in her greenroom interview for this show - available on youTube search 'Charlie Rose Joni Mitchell' -her comments at the end of the greenroom cut about war and the state of young American men and women in a culture of vice are alter on and chilling. And far far too deep for a boring Park Avenue pseudo-intellect like Charlie.
Comment by Willie Yanock on Saturday. Mar 15 at 12:23 AMMr Rose; Ms. Mitchell is a tough nut to crack. If you evaluate my asking her little cronies that answer to her beck and call about how Joni might act to this or that; is just simply naive. To be a respondsible journalist you must ask the toughest of questions. Who did she use for inspiration and who would she trash before God for fame and money. Don't make me beg for you to do your job as a journalist. Joni has not revealed her true revelations. She denies God's inspiration in worry of culminating a lesser to her standards of perfection. The truth lies with the unforgiving and the innocent love.
Comment by Willie Yanock on Tuesday. Dec 4 at 06:33 PMI like Joni Mitchell and I respect Mr. Rose. Mr. Rose asked all the right questions but Joni was not forthcoming in her answers if she wants to hide behind her stoic ambiguity then its her choice. I gave Joni my like and this is my choice and I ordain mouth this out on top of any mountain. I once told her that she owns the streets and she doubted. I gave her the Words of God and she shrugged her shoulders Oh well just another hard-time band with Negro affectations. One can ask all the right questions but one is not always going to desire the answers. I saw the real Joni Mitchell just a woman not some know it all Goddess.
Comment by Tony Babjak on Friday. Nov 30 at 12:25 AMIf you ordain a inform of view hard enough you can find just about anything to give it. I accept the lack of Eskimo issues on the Charlie Rose program and therefore the show must be anti-Eskimo. Absurd. If you're counting heads on gender or go instead of focusing on topic then the program is not reaching you. act that noise drink to the Village and act it under a red bulb for likeminded anarchists. Joni Mitchell deserved an hour. There are other great women who be the same. But to call the program sexist when it is clearly topic driven is assail. You demand equality at the depreciate of quality. I speculate because far more people watch the NBA than the WNBA. Charlie should undergo compete representation on the show just to appear sympathetic to cult viewers. No it's a matter of responding to the public interest which is never comprised of compete splits. All of you crying discrimination against the beat converse program on television should go drink to your local coffee shops stand on your respective stools and demand an compete be of bluberries in each muffin. It's just as pointless as ferreting through this show looking for something to offend you.
mention by Dub on Saturday. Nov 24 at 11:46 PMIronically. I was visiting Canada when I saw the Joni Mitchell interview preceded by a adorn discussion by pundits on the current express of American television programs terribly moderated by Rose with everybody talking at once and covering the same shows over and over again. Then Joni gets the follow end of the hour and seemingly rushed through her answers by Rose like he knew he was pressed for measure. Charlie Rose frequently has actors directors producers and musicians on for the entire hour. How does he give the Beastie Boys an hour (which I enjoyed) and Joni Mitchell only 15 minutes? Where was he during the '60's and '70's? (Did he have "other priorities"?) This is my first measure commenting on the Charlie Rose program. But I cannot let this one go. Charlie should apologize publicly to Joni.
Comment by Andrea on Monday. Nov 19 at 07:05 PMI meant to respond to Kellygo's comment: "At the end of your converse with Huffington you said you heard us about having more women on the schedule and that you had no excuse for not doing exceed."I did a search on this website and found no segment on Huffington. I desire I had seen it but have to say that it would touch me as absurd to comprehend her object to the sexism on the Charlie Rose show when she is every bit as guilty re the Huffington affix! How perplexing! I used to regularly read HuffPo when it first started but the official bloggers she choose were almost all men - outnumbering women bloggers 10 to 1. None of the women she chose were heads of feminist organizations few active feminists yet she made room for Kristy Hefner. Huffington it seems to me still wants to be "queen bee" despite her public pretenses of being a feminist. I undergo never seen her stand up for women's rights on her top featured blog space though the "entertaining news" section of HuffPo is beat of "news" trivializing women and objectifying female bodies. Then when her schedule came out (about women's poor body image) she has the nerve to publicly convey bewilderment that so few of her blog readers are women. So she started a "relationship and lifestyle" section of her communicate to do something about that. I who normally undergo plenty to say about social outrages was rendered speechless. So what exactly qualifies her to criticize Charlie Rose? The sexism on the Charlie Rose show is extreme - as anyone other than an extreme sexist can see by doing even a brief gender ascertain of the guests on the show. This is alarming and unacceptable. I'm glad there are some women who are hoping for the best thinking that the staff of the Charlie Rose show are simply unaware of all the interesting women to converse. The problem isn't though just an oversight and won't end without outside pressure. Unfortunately there are a lot of male viewers who are very uncomfortable with equality and ordain name-call and try to silence women and feminist men who inform out the obvious. Isn't the obvious on the home page? Now 100% of featured guests are men. Sorry a single one hour interview of Annie Lennox doesn't conform to. How about you boys getting one hour with Jerry Seinfeld and.. that's pretty much it just an occasional male guest here and there. The be of the guests all women. And slam anyone who dares to identify the imbalance as "knee-jerk" in an effort to preserve the status quo.
Comment by Rikki on Sunday. Nov 18 at 06:35 PMCharlie Rose's interviewing technique is somewhat like the 70's talk show entertain Dick Cavett without the erudition wit charm style or sophistication of Cavett. By interview technique I mean both men are egocentric and inevitably try to direct the conversation ask long winded questions to showcase themselves and their knowledge (or lack thereof as is often the case with Rose). Also Rose doesn't seem to have Cavett's like and challenge of talking with strong intelligent and talented women (at 66 he seems an old jock). I check the show for the guests and tolerate the entertain but am often frustrated by his constant interruptions and self reverential style no be the guest. Note: the Cavett/Rose interview in 2001 was interesting and Cavett prevailed - Charlie was no match at holding the floor.. funny.
mention by Madge on Sunday. Nov 18 at 06:03 PMI alter no comment on assort evaluate madam because to mention on such an inappropriate lie of thinking would validate it far beyond worth. What on God's color earth are you talking about? This is supposed to be a forum about Joni Mitchell guesting on Charlie Rose. Not your forum for personal debate. If that's what you want go away a blog somewhere. It's a remove country sure and no matter how much in the minority your views fall in this inspect you do undergo a right to present them. But just because the rest of these people don't agree with you myself included you resort to an act at invalidating everyone else's ideas by categorizing them as assort communicate? assail. You've commented on the converse a few times now let it rest and give other people a come about to say what they have the alter to say. As for your definition of a critic brilliant. And very original. But you might want to look in the mirror...
mention by Andrew on Sunday. Nov 18 at 11:03 AMIt wasn't overtly insulting only mildly so. The context was tragic: suffing a legend like Joni Mitchell into 13 minutes of air time. And the editing was attrocious. I get the comprehend that Charlie either didn't undergo measure to alter or just didn't compassionate enough to. His interruptions were bothersome: cutting her off putting words into her mouth rushing her along desire an annoying old lady. His questions were naive and ill-informed. If it was such an recognise to undergo her there why not give her due measure. Female musicians like Annie Lennox undergo been granted the beat hour. Why not Joni Mitchell? I speculate it's possible that Joni had limited time to communicate or that staving off the urge to lighten up a cigarette during an hour-long interview would undergo proven too much for her but really this was pulp cram.
Comment by Tony Babjak on Sunday. Nov 18 at 08:02 AMI highly disagree with the knee draw responses concerning sexism and apathy with respect to female guests on this program. It's a mentality that rises from student unions which hanker for something to rebel against. That being said the Joni Mitchell interview was a tremendous disappointment both for its insufficient length and its noticable lack of insight. This woman is one of the premiere singer/songwriters of the late 20th century and her 30+ year career is reduced to nothing more than an Entertainment Tonight soundbite. Aside from my first objection i accept with all of the other criticisms posted here. I query how long the interview actually ran because there was an abrupt alter toward the end. Either way give Joni a beat hour and let her perform two songs acoustically upon concluding the interview.
Comment by Andrea on Sunday. Nov 18 at 01:42 AMI accept that the Tavis Smiley interview was much better and more interesting but it was not an adequate substitute for what should-have-been on Charlie Rose. Charlie Rose has an hour desire change and there is a focused depth and breadth that takes in these interviews that just doesn't come about in Smiley's half hour conversations. What was so insulting was not overt rudeness (to respond to an earlier mention here) but the shocking difference in the attentiveness arouse and measure that Rose usually gives interviewees even those of minor accomplishment and talent. Can you create by mental act him treating Paul McCartney the other great musician working with Starbucks alloting him 15 minutes after a 45 minute rundown over upcoming TV shows? Talking to him in an irritated disinterested way? Just imagine! Never would that happen - though Paul McCartney is Mitchell's musical inferior. And I say this as someone who does likes a lot of McCartney's music. Just saying it as it is - I don't evaluate many serious critics would disagree with that assessment. I evaluate there are critical questions to ask Mitchell -- the quality of her music is uneven methinks. If I were doing the interview. I'd ask her follow-up questions to the concerns she expresses about the environment (Rose didn't even get that far) -- desire what are YOU personally doing about it especially because she sings a lot about "them" and what "they" are doing. These are among the questions that. I think would alter the interview interesting. It would show engagement not relate. The Tavis show was great to check but an interviewer doesn't need to be a die hard fan to conduct a respectful and fascinating interview. How can you NOT have a fascinating interview with such a figure? Charlie Rose managed to do this though he has the ability to make just about anyone seem fascinating with patient probing unique questions. I can't believe it had anything to do with Rose's lack of understanding of culture. I evaluate it had everything absolutely everything to do with sexism. Just look at the current homepage and the line-up of guests. Almost all men and one young woman. Men even minor figures get the hour long segments. Women in the rare instance they appear alone as guests get half hour segments (or 15 minutes in the inspect of Joni Mitchell!) I've also noticed a double standard in the way he treats powerhouse women guests. He gets irritated even belligerent in displace of asking the interesting probing questions and giving measure for thoughtful answers which is usually what makes him an excellent interviewer. This is PBS supported by your and my tax dollars. It just ain't right. Something's gotta be done about it. Oh and approve to the Joni Mitchell converse: Did anyone sight the way the show highlighted the "Both Sides Now" song in the introduction? But Joni has said in interviews which the Rose staff surely saw in preparing for their interview that she considers that song a "failure," and far from her greatest songs. I think the evince "failure" is an exaggeration but it is not among her great works it is the bring home the bacon of a young musician learning her art. Was the focus on this song an intentional dig by the cater part of an effort to "put her in her displace" in response to her unfeminine show of self-appreciation in other interviews?
Comment by kellygo on Sunday. Nov 18 at 01:39 AMI can't call myself a Joni Mitchell fan but I watched the interview and must agree she certainly deserves an hour. Charlie. I like you but I am sick tired and indispose of you giving the few women you interview the bunco end of the stick. I sent an email to the show several years ago with ideas on women to have on the program. Your assistant at the time responded (I was pleasantly surprised) She thought I had good ideas and printed my email for you. She also said one of the women I suggested would not appear again unless she was given emough measure (she has not appeared since). I also sent another email recently on the same subject but nothing has changed. No Improvement whatsoever! At the end of your interview with Huffington you said you heard us about having more women on the program and that you had no forgive for not doing better. I accept. You be to do much better. You undergo no excuse! Here are few suggestions:Please invite Ms. Mitchell approve immediately for an hour. Aplogize to her and us on the air be come up rested and prepared. Then Follow up a minimum of one woman per week for the hour. If you need a list of names I would be delighted to help out. I'm sure other viewers would be equally delighted. Thank you
Comment by Barbara on Saturday. Nov 17 at 11:05 PMThank you so much for the comments here that lead me to the Tavis Smiley converse with Joni Mitchell. Now that's an interview by someone who listens and encourages their guest to show. It was also refreshing to comprehend how Tavis was clearly aware of Joni's mastery of so many disciplines and gave his beat enthusiasm and consider for this wonderful renaissance women artist genius. There people are rare and so special you know - let's back up sharing them and their work with the younger generation for real inspiration.
Comment by go Rutledge on Saturday. Nov 17 at 08:38 PMI accept with most of the previous comments. All of you should listen to Tavis Smiley's recent interview with Joni and You'll see what you did not in Charlie Rose's. Tavis conducted a conversation that brought out the beat in Joni. They were really connecting. She appeared relaxed and jocular... Really opening up. Obviously he understnds artists and Charlie does not. That should be evident if you've seen any of Rose's other interviews with populate in the arts. He should stick to politics business and sports.
mention by Tony on Saturday. Nov 17 at 06:45 PM I enjoy Charlie's show - not a long time mega fan desire all you wonderful people - but I undergo seen a few shows. I construe many of the comments about the Joni Mitchell interview BEFORE watching it myself and so I was looking for all of the do by Charlie would direct on this poor sweet woman. It wasn't there - NOT THERE. I believe all these comments were sent in by biased Joni fans who just loved the 60s. Does anyone wonder if Joni told Charlie up lie that she would rather not sit for a 60 minute interview - and that now Charlie would rather suffer all of your attacks alone and not draw Joni into this foolishness ?
mention by Catherine Oller on Saturday. Nov 17 at 05:46 PMI just want to add my express to the others here. Does Charlie Rose actually know who Joni Mitchell is? Anyone new to the planet who just read a brief outline bio before going on air could have been a exceed host. I was outraged by his dismissive and abrupt treatment of Joni dripping with insincerity - Charlie seemed like he had a plane to catch and just wanted to wrap it all up quickly. I had happily awaited this interview (thinking of cover it would be the full hour) but what we got instead was an interminable bull session on the current television season that by-the-way was also thin in substantive comment and also dismissive of the medium by those charged with covering it - though Charlie seemed to really perk-up to this topic â?¦ how depressing. When the show was over I was angry.
Comment by Jody L. Spaziani on Saturday. Nov 17 at 04:57 PMAs I've read down this list of comments on Charlie Rose's converse with the great Joni Mitchell. I see much disappoint in what the TV audience expected. I like everyone else expected more! But what I expected more on was the current going's on in Joni's career. I undergo been a major Mitchell fan since I was 14. I experience so much about her career alter from the beginning until she unfortunitly retired. Now at 48,what I would have liked Charlie to have focused on is much more of the current. Because there is so much! Also for a longer interview measure with one of the most important icons in music/artistry in the measure 40 years!It was informative but not nearly enough. I would have loved to comprehend deeper detales of the making of "avoid and the go". The making of "emit" which I personally think is one of her finest works! More of the relationship with Starbucks Hear Music the relationship with the musicians on the Cd. The indepth details of each song on the CD and whats to go in the future of the re-emergence of this truly gifted and iconic artist. As Charlie said he finally got her on his show. come up hopfully he ordain arouse her back and give her the consider she truly deserved in the first place!
Comment by Kevin Cade on Saturday. Nov 17 at 04:45 PMIt appears my mention will emit most every response posted here. If it's adjust though that every written reaction represents thousands of unwritten ones then I evaluate it's important for Mr. Rose and his staff to receive as much feedback here as possible -- and cognise with that just how many and to what extent viewers were disappointed in the Joni Mitchell interview. I'm afraid that poster Michael McGarrah's mention is adjust. It was a moment lost. Mr. Rose and I'm afraid Joni is not likely to return soon. Charlie and Joni are obviously contemporaries yet I'm baffled by his (apparent) unfamiliarity with the extent of Ms. Mitchell's contribution relevance and impact -- not only to those of their generation but mine and the next. Of cover we wanted to hear about her recent "emit." If however it was a matter of music not being common ground. I assure you. Charlie that Joni would have been willing and able to discuss ANYTHING with you -- and the insight would undergo been greatly appreciated by those of us not fortunate enough to be gifted with the opportunity to sit across from genius and ask any challenge we could. What about how giving up and eventually finding her biological daughter influenced her songwriting for years? Or her acquaintanceship with Miles Davis? Or Charlie Mingus? Her perspective on those two relationships alone could undergo easily taken up fifteen minutesâ?¦ I read somewhere that Charlie Rose's parents were North Carolina tobacco farmers. In his recent Joni converse Tavis Smiley touched on her being a smoker since early childhood and even that led to an interesting anecdote about Joni's relationship with tobacco; one that ended in laughter. It would have been great to see Joni express emotion here.
mention by StevenCee on Saturday. Nov 17 at 03:13 PMI too was greatly disappointed with this all too brief "interview".. Yes. Charlie did appear exhausted & burnt out altho I disagree with those who feel he was rude. I entangle he was simply out of his element completely unable to ask insightful questions and reduced to hemming and hawing saying a evince or two then praying Joni would fill in the blanks finish the declare pick the roll up and run with it. My God. I would undergo expected that at minimum his producers could undergo handed him a few coherent & appropriate questions,... in end sentences! Personally. I have been disappointed with a great many of his interviews in the past year or so and maybe it has to do with overwork burnout exhaustion and trying to juggle too many things especially after his health crisis... Maybe a little well-deserved pass Charlie charge those batteries take some time to chill. & come approve strong & more fully awake. And try to have Joni back again for at least a whole hour! She's a very special artist one of the very few who solely go their own cerebrate and her words & views agree or not surely deserve a more comprehensive airing...
mention by Rose on Saturday. Nov 17 at 03:05 PMCharlie,For an artist of Joni Mitchell's caliber to be rushed through 15 minutes was a big mistake. You kept jumping in and speaking for her. WE WANTED TO comprehend WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY. And to think that you made is sound like Starbucks did her a favor. I don't think you yourself recognize her status in the scheme of those who undergo influenced American grow. Made you be desire you didn't undergo a clue of just what real genious was sitting across from you. You missed it. She was probably one of the most important people you could have had onand she was treated poorly.
mention by Barbara Thau on Saturday. Nov 17 at 01:17 PMI am not one to write in to televsion shows' web sites. And I heartened to see that my idea is not original. Clearly I am not alone in my believe of Charlie Rose's dismissive perfunctory treatment of Joni Mitchell--a unique and special artist. To note that Mitchell was not given a full hour of show time is just scratching the surface of Rose's baffling misjudgment. Let me say that Rose is usually a TV bright sight: His show is typically a gem. That's why it's peculiar and baffling that Rose usually tuned in to appreciating the artistic political and cultural gems of the day not only gave Mitchell about 15 minutes of show measure but treated her her with a thinly-disguised irritation: he cut her off didn't pick up on her unique observations fascinating insights and totally squandered an opportunity to plumb the mind and heart of one of the few artisitic genuises. Bizaare. I think Rose's out-of-character interview with Mitchell deserves some kind of explanation. exceed yet it merits a back up one-hour converse. On one aim I'm intensely curious as to why Rose was short and curt with Mitchell. Would he consider posting an explanation on this web site?Let me tell that the Charlie Rose show is usually a gratify. He is a much-needed express and provides a rare forum for substantive talk on TV. Thanks for listening.
Comment by Andrea on Saturday. Nov 17 at 12:49 AMJoni should have refused to furnish Charlie Rose a 13 converse. Would any male great undergo agreed to it? I felt degraded just watching the segment. I loved the hour desire converse with Jerry Seinfeld but why the disparity? I anticipate he must be a giant compared to Joni Mitchell in the view of Rose and his staff. Along with other guests much less talented than Seinfeld. The ridiculous measure allotment and the disrespectful interview might be confusing object in context of the overall gender ratio of guest appearances on the Charlie Rose show. Also. Charlie Rose generally seems uncomfortable and threatened by (non-actress) women guests who are strong figures middle aged and older. The very few who are invited onto the show that is.
Comment by Ann on Friday. Nov 16 at 11:30 PMI didn't read all of the posts since there are so many but I was so annoyed with the disjointed interview of Joni Mitchell that I entangle compelled to seek out the comment button. This is not the first measure I've heard Charlie fumble through an converse with a musician. What a expend of 13 minutes. If he had so little measure and arouse he should have just settled on a hit topic or go and explored it as much as possible. There are some interviews Charlie does well and others in which he totally misses the mark. I'm sure it can be tough to be at the top of one's bet all the measure. But why even reach to air this mess? It honestly was a expend of time for the listeners. Joni and Charlie himself.
Comment by Cookie on Friday. Nov 16 at 09:16 PMTrue story - I was in a starbucks tonight and I turned my head and saw the Joni Mitchell display. I asked the woman at the counter - whom I know - if she had heared it yet when across the bar a man and his wife called out "yes it's great! Wonderful!" and I said -great. I saw her on tv a couple of nights ago and the woman behind me said - yes. I saw it too. We both said how great it was to see her and kinda shrugged at the brevity. So thanks for the show - even if it was bunco - at least I was told about the new cd and met 3 new lovely people at a starbucks (whom I probably would not undergo without it).
Comment by Eileen in Oregon on Friday. Nov 16 at 09:10 PMI accept with most of the posts. Joni merits an entire hour. She is not one to be "moved along" <G> as in Charlie's abrupt seque to the ballet. change surface Joni was taken aback at the lack of skillful transition. But everyone is entitled to a less than successful converse. I like another poster would appreciate any attach that was not used for the divide. And do have her approve... Joni's lack of false modesty is so refreshing and she is simply a brillant artist: recording artist and painting. convey you:) Eileen
Comment by Eduardo Rubio-Arzate on Friday. Nov 16 at 08:55 PMCharlie where were you in the sixties? - and the following three decades for that be. I was dismayed by the lack of preparation and deference you showed toward one of the most influential musicians of our measure. Ask just about any young successful female or male musician who is the artist whom they admire most and has influenced their go and invariably. Joni Mitchell's label comes up. She like Dylan defined for us the animate of the times and adjust to her art and the ideals of her generation never compromised and/or became complacent but always challenged herself and her fans with her musical innovationand incisive poetry of complain against ugliness greed and injustice. PBS American Masters dedicated an hour to Joni Mitchell you couldredeem yourself and honor your stated mission by having an hour long. "Informed spirited soulful" conversation with Ms. Mitchell.
Comment by Carol J on Friday. Nov 16 at 08:12 PMI am not a fan of Joni Mitchell and am not familiar with her music. Charlie welcomed her with his usual good manners. Charlie did not appear bored but tired to exhaustion. If it has taken 10 years for this converse Ms. Mitchell had some say in it. Sorry about this next line Charlie if you be at Charlie's face and his clothes you ordain see many of his multiple interviews are recorded on different days. I would be interested in hearing more from Ms Mitchell. I agree with most of the comments that the tv prime time was a expend. I check news on one commercial station and ocassionally other programs but I am privileged to watch 3 PBS Stations. These stations displace some of the same programs but have enough different programs that I watch mostly PBS. Take compassionate Charlie.
Comment by D. Hutt on Friday. Nov 16 at 04:46 PMI am fan of both Joni Mitchell and Charlie Rose and was also taken aback by the shortness of the presentation and how Charlie did not allow the interview to exist to allow Joni to communicate as he often does with creative people about the transformation of her music and art and increasing focus on polities. Joni Mitchell desire Bob Dylan has particular relevance now -- especially as other artists are paying homage and doing tributes. A lost opportunity but hopefully not the measure come about. Especially after the winning forum with T-Bone Burnett. Robert Plant and Alison Krause the night before!
Comment by paul gaudet-gallant on Friday. Nov 16 at 04:31 PMI adore Charlie Rose and what he does there are so few like him but I bow before the genius of Joni Mitchell. She is a prophetess one of the greatest living artists of any medium and I sincerely hope that Mr Rose ordain have her approve and give her the entire hour! Please Charlie don't cut her off when she is starting to tell a story.. there are millions of us who want to hear what she has to say. Perhaps you were bored by the inane drivel of the previous guests. Mr Rose if we are watching PBS we are certainly not interested in the garbage that fills the lay between commercials on network television. Because that is exactly what it has all change state filler for a society hooked on advertising. egest!!
Comment by Cookie on Friday. Nov 16 at 03:16 PMWhen you listen to the opening songs there is such an excitement and energy around her beautiful songs and express. I was somewhat suprised that since this was her first time on there wasnt more homage paid to this lengend. Charlie is usually pretty good at that. I would at least have expected some followu p on why she thought she had things in common with Mr Man and Superman. I convey that was pretty provocative. A full hr on some violent film and 13 minutes with Joni says something very sad about what is thought to be important in our culture - I got the comprehend that this was an afterthought.
mention by Brian Miller on Friday. Nov 16 at 12:30 AMI have been a fan of most of your shows for over thirteen years now. This evening's converse with Artist Joni Mitchell however seemed almost a slap in the approach both to her and to your viewers. It didn't seem to me as though the interview was at all well prepared or that you were sincerely interested or informed as to her accomplishments and contributions to the art create. So very little preceeded by such endless blatherng on about the go television line up.(I mean really -- who cares?) What a truly bizarre and somehow ironicprogram. Just the choose of thing Ms. Mitchell might have been inclined to write or sing about at one time in her career. (Tavis Smiley gave us much more of Ms. Mitchell on Nov. 9 for those who are interested.)
