... [+]If there was an interview hall of fame Alanis Morissette would be a surefire first year inductee. All of the things that make Morissette so unique and important as a songwriter — the earnestness, the candor, the thoughtfulness, the integrity, the humor — come through in conversation.
Baltin: As we have talked about I am a big believer in how environment affects writing. So has being up there and out of L.A. influenced you? Baltin: But that has always been the case for you and it's interesting because you practiced that from such an early point in your career. Morissette: Yeah, and that happens with every record. If I listen back to any record I'll think,"Oh my god, okay." I'll get a sense of that era. And that's what I meant earlier about self-expression being mandatory.If I'm not expressed I'll literally start getting sick, I'll get lethargic. But if I'm expressed and it keeps going through me I just feel like I'm doing what I was put on this planet to do.
Morissette: Yeah, I always felt that musicians and songwriters were on to something that perhaps those outside of the songwriting community weren't necessarily on to. And what I mean by that is when I would listen to a record, and I was listening to"Tainted Love" even as a kid, or Olivia Newton-John or Styx or Bob Dylan, my dad would be playing Bob Dylan I would be really fascinated by what is he talking about. So I just thought that these people were wisdom keepers.
Indigo with love. Oh, how it makes my heart sing.
As you can tell by the response Alanis Morissette is better left on the shelf.
Yessssss!!! Learn is my all time favorite alternative album of my teens
