Thanks again to Phoebe for being our debut guest on this new season of Mavericks! Definitely had some Inspectah Deck energy here - triple extra large / Wild like rock stars who smash guitars! / Poison bars from the Gods / bust holes in your mirage… :)

That was so great Ari, really wonderful interview, great questions, nice vibe and good chemistry between you both. Bravo! And thanks Phoebe, you're a treasure, it was beautiful!

Thanks Ari... love to see my favorite people interviewing my favorite people.

Phoebe is a superb young artist and just a remarkable young woman. And in what looks like what is going to be a difficult future for reproductive choice, we need her uncompromising activism. Thanks for choosing her, Ari, and your questions were as witty and insightful as always.

@ricksamericana749 Год назад

If you've ever had the opportunity see Phoebe Bridgers live then you can appreciate how funny she is. Her humor is most pointed before or after she sings her most heartbreaking lyrics. It's really quite charming.

I love how they brought up Joni Mitchell. First time I ever listened to Graceland Too, I said to myself "it sounds like something Joni would write". Phoebe is my absolute hero, and she feels like a natural progression of the folk musicians I grew up listening to in my parent's living room.

@llbxq Год назад

can you recommend some of joni's songs that sound like that?

@annt7384 7 месяцев назад

“Your sound is both gentle and confrontational.” Wow, what a gifted way to begin an interview!

@EfOneAddict Год назад

That was really good. She is immensely talented and fun to listen to. One of my favorite PB lyrics is "One of your eyes is always half shut, something happened when you were a kid. I didn't know you then and I'll never understand why... it feels like I did."

@Storanzo98 Год назад

Is this about Thom Yorke? She references other artists and musicians in that song including Bowie, The Smiths and Lemmy from Motorhead. I feel like it's a reference to Thom
