Joni Mitchell interviews are something to behold, and this new one with Canadian journalist Jian Ghomeshi delves even deeper than she’s gone in decades. Landing a Q&A with Joni is so rare, in fact, there’s little to compare it to — a career-spanning discussion from her home in Los Angeles, it covers her views on art in all forms, aging as an artist, the non-artistic quotient of Bob Dylan, and much more than I’d attempt to surmise from the freewheeling, near-2-hour talk. Having spent two days coming back to the clip, it’s biggest yield has been a rabbit hole of music discovery and insight, among other tangents rewarding to the patient fan. Watch — and/or bookmark for later — above.
