>> OUR NEXT GUEST ASK A SEVEN TIME GRAMMY
AWARD-WINNING SINGER-SONGWRITER ABOUT TO RELEASE A BRAND NEW
ALBUM NEXT MONTH, WHAT AN HONOR TO HAVE THE INCREDIBLY TALENTED
ALANIS MORISSETTE JOIN US, HOW ARE YOU?
>> I'M REALLY WELL, HOW ARE YOU.
>> James: I'M VERY WELL, HOW ARE YOU DOING.
>> YOU KNOW, DEPENDS WHEN YOU CATCH ME, TRYING TO HOLD IT
TOGETHER.
>> James: I CONSIDER HOLDING IT TOGETHER A REAL PLUS POINT
RIGHT BOW.
>> A FUNCTIONAL ROLLER COASTER.
>> James: NOW HOW HAVE YOU BEEN DOING AM YOU HAVE YOUNG
CHILDREN AT HOME.
HOW HAVE YOU BEEN COPING WITH THE HOMESCHOOLING DURING THIS
LOCKDOWN?
WHAT IS ALANIS MORISSETTE'S TAKE ON ALL OF THIS.
>> WE WERE ALREADY UNSCHOOLING,.
>> James: WHAT DOES UNSCHOOLING MEAN.
I FEEL LIKE I DID A LOT OF UNSCHOOLING WHEN I WAS NINE.
>> THERE ARE PROBABLY DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS.
>> James: WHAT DOES UNSCHOOLING ME.
>> THE SANCTIONED ONE IS HOW WE DO T I THINK EVERYONE DOES IT A
LITTLE DIFFERENTLY BUT UNSCHOOLING IS VERY CHILD-LEAD,
NOT IN THAT THEY ARE IN CHARGE IN AN INAPPROPRIATE WAY BUT MORE
THAT THEIR PROCLIFFIC-- PROCLIVITIES, THEIR
CURIOSITIES, IT IS MOSTLY MAKING SURE THERE IS PHYSICAL, SOME
SOCIAL INTERACTIVE, SOME ELEMENT OF HELPING THE CHILDREN NAVIGATE
THE INNER LANDSCAPE OF THEIR FEELINGS AND THEIR THOUGHTS.
MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE, SPACE INTELLIGENCE, DESIGN, SO WE KEEP
THAT IN THE BACK OF OUR MINDSK MY HUSBAND AND I.
AND WHEN WE NOTICE WE HAVEN'T BEEN OUTSIDE, IT TAKE THE
PRESSURE OFF US, ALTHOUGH THE ONLY CAV YET I WOULD SAY THAT IT
IS A 24/7 THING.
SO IT IS A VERY ODD CONCEPT.
>> James: I'M INTO THIS, I AM NOW REALIZING I UNSCHOOLED
MYSELF, A LOT OF MY LIFE.
I UNSCHOOLED.
>> WELL, UNSCHOOLING IS CONTINUED EDUCATION, RESPECT FOR
EDUCATION, MY PARENTS ARE BOTH TEACHERS, I LOVE LEARNING EVERY
DAY, IF I DON'T LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY I FEEL OFF.
SO IT IS NOT THAT WE ARE NOT LEARN NGHT UNSCHOOLING WORLD, IT
IS JUST WE A ARE APPROACHING IT DIFFERENTLY.
>> James: I WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO YOU MORE ABOUT THIS.
BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE THIS MONTH, THIS MONTH
WE'RE IN MARKS THE 25th ANNIVERSARY OF JAGGED LEG PILL.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WAS 25 YEARS AGO.
ARE YOU AT ALL SURPRISED LOOKING BACK NOW AT THE IMPACT OF THAT
ALBUM AND HOW THAT ALBUM HAS HELD OUT JUST IN THE LAST SORT
OF YEAR OR SO, YOU KNOW, THAT IS THE SONG IN LADY BIRD, IN BOOK
SMART, ARE YOU SHOCKED ABOUT HOW THE ALBUM HAS REMAINED RELEVANT?
>> I'M FIRST OF ALL FOR TEU TUS BECAUSE CAN I PERFORMANCE
WITHOUT CRINGING.
THE OTHER IS THAT I THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPENED UNBEKNOWNST TO
ME, IS WHILE I WAS WRITING ABOUT MY OWN HUMAN EXPERIENCE, ITS
WITH GIVING PER MISSION SOME WAYS TO THOSE LISTENING TO IT TO
HAVE THEIR OWN HUMAN EXPERIENCE AND NOT APOLOGIZE FOR BEING
FABULOUS OR DEPRESSION OR ANYTHING, I THINK IT JUST SAID
IT IS OKAY.
>> James: NOW YOUR NEW ALBUM WHICH IS YOU WILL KAD SUCH
PLELTEE FORK IN THE ROAD IS OUT IN JULY, YOU HAVE THREE CHILDREN
IN YOUR LIFE RIT NOW.
HOW HAVE THE CHANGES IN YOUR LIFE TODAY CHANGED YOUR
RECORDING PROCESS FROM WHAT IT USED TO BE.
>> IT USED TO BE MORE PARTICULAR, IF I WAS IN THE
BOOTH AND SOMEONE MOVED I WOULD BE LIKE STOP, STOP.
I CAN'T-- NOW HAVE I A CHILD ON MYñr HEAD, ANOTHER FEEDING,
FINISHING A QUICK DINNER, JUST RECORD IT YOU WANT TO REHEARSE,
NO, JUST RECORD AND-- SO IT IS ALL VERY INTEGRATE, IT IS LIKE A
CIRCUS BUT IT STILL GETS DONE SHOW.
I THINK THE MULTITASKING HAS TURNED INTO MULTIPLE SINGLE
FOCUS TAX.
IT IS NOT THAT I AM JUST AWARE OF-- IT IS MORE THAT I AM
FOCUSED ON SO MANY THINGS TO THE POINT THAT I GET A LITTLE
OVERSTIMULATED AND MY POOR HUSBAND HAS TO DO-- I AM IN THE
MIDDLE OF ALL KINDS OF PERFECT STORMS AND KNOW, I AM EITHER
CRYING OR RAGING OR I AM NUMB OR CHECKING OUT OR TRYING TO BE THE
BEST MOM I CAN BE IN THE MOMENT HOLDING IT TOGETHER.
I HAVE IT EASY.
SO I JUST HAVE A LOT OF EMPATHY FOR WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND THE
WORLD.
>> WHEN WE TALK ON THE SHOW ON MONDAY, REGGIE, I DON'T EVEN
KNEW IF YOU KNEW, ON MONDAY WHEN WE WERE TALKING, YOU WERE SAYING
I GO IN AND OUT.
I GO IN AND OUT A LOT.
AND THAT IS I THINK THE BEST WAY THAT YOU CAN SUM IT UP REALLY IS
YOU ARE IN AND THEN YOU ARE OUT.
>> YES.
>> AND WE'RE ALL ANIMALS, RIGHT, AND THAT IS A PART OF WHAT WE
ARE BEING ASKED IS TO RAISE, WE ARE IN IF SOMETIMES WE ARE
REACTING, NOT LETTING THIS FRONTAL CORTEX HELP US.
THAT IS WHAT DISTING BISHES US, WHEN I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF FEAR,
CAN I KEUNT ON THIS TO GO WAIT A MINUTE, LET'S-- THE CHALLENGE
RIGHT NOW ON ALL OF THESE CHALLENGING DIFFICULT
CIRCUMSTANCES IS TO REMEMBER THE FACT THAT WE HAVE THIS, THAT WE
CAN CONJURE IT WHEN WE CAN BUT WHEN WE ARE IN FIGHT, FRIGHT OR
FREEZE, QUESTIONING WHAT THE NEW NORMAL WILL BE, IT SUNDAY
STANDABLE WHENEVER YOU TEST IT WE WILL BE IN SOME DIFFERENT
STATE.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO ALL THE NERVOUSNESS, THE PATHETIC
HEARTBEAT, CLENCHED CHEST.
SOME PEOPLE ARE PUTTING PRESSURE ON THEMSELVES, TO BE PRODUCTIVE
DURING A TIME WHERE ST INAPPROPRIATE TO NOT HAVE TO DO
ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.
WE DON'T HAVE TO SHOW UP, IF THERE WERE TO BE A REQUEST THAT
I WOULD MAKE MYSELF OR ANYBODY IT WOULD BE SURVEILLANCE.
, FROM DIFFERENT ANIMAL WES CAN CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER, LOOK
DIFFERENT, IF WE SOUND DIFFERENT F WE HAVE DIFFERENT EXCEPTIONS,
WE CAN REALLY CONNECT.
I THINK WHAT IS MOST NEEDED RIGHT NOW IS TO EVOLVE THIS
CONSCIOUSNESS TO REMEMBER WE ARE CONNECTED ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL
NO MATTER WHAT WE ARE LOOKING LIKE, HOW OLD WE ARE.
>> James: ABSOLUTELY, WILL YOU PERFORM A BRAND NEW SONG RIGHT
HERE WHEN WE COME BACK.
AFTER THE BREAK.
SO YOU GET READY FOR THAT AND WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE "LATE,
LATE SHOW" AFTER THIS.
