I took that as meaning that not many people can get into her skin, without ticking her off, but that I somehow had found, her soft spot.įor the record, I'm a huge fan of Richard and Karen and man, would I love to just sit down and talk music with Richard. Going back to my interview with Wynonna Judd, I found it funny when, after the interview, while she was outside signing autographs in the radio station parking lot, to about 30 people who heard the interview, her assistant came into the my studio and said, 'I don't know what you said to her, but thank you'. I had no trouble with her admitting that she used to think that their songs were 'corny', that was her being honest, but, when she kept using the word and then playing that horrid version of 'Superstar' by Sonic Youth, she lost him, as a good interview. I won her over and I'll be honest, it's not that easy with every artist, but if you're an honest fan, like I can tell that Terry Gross is not, of Richard Carpenter, it can fail miserably. She smiled and said, 'REALLY' and I said, 'sure'. She said that she hadn't heard the finished product yet, so I handed her my CD and said, it's yours'. I told her (off air) how much I loved the song that she and Kenny Loggins cut for the album. Thanks to a friend of mine who used to work for RCA Records, I had a real early advance on a new 'West Side Story' project, that Wynonna was a part of. About 15 minutes later, ths sunglasses came off and she opened up to me. I once did an interview with Wynonna Judd and she came in with sunglasses on and a real bitchy attitude. An artist or group, can be as fussy when they arrive, as you or I can be, in the morning. I've done hundreds of radio interviews, some went well, some were better than expected and others, I'd rather just as soon forget. This is the second radio interview that I've listened to this week on this forum and both of them struck me the wrong way.
