I can't believe we're lucky enough to experience living on Earth with Joni Mitchell. Who is still able to interpret her own music 60 years later. Yeah. In a time of doubt and turbulence in the world. That got absorbed into that night, too. The personal and the kind of national and political meaning in all of that, in that song.
Like, I just feel like she's a distiller and processor of our collective experience in a way that... kind of like none other and it's all there in the timbre of the voice it's all there i just couldn't believe my good fortune we'll be right back Can we talk about the laughter? She laughed through that whole show. She laughed after every applause.

She has a great laugh, and she laughs sometimes on her recorded songs. She has this kind of musical, slightly antic laugh.

And Isaac is the name for laughter in Hebrew.

And it's this deep story of renaissance, of creation, of surprise, of fertility in old age. And I felt like the laughter was an ancient laughter of generativeness that came from someplace really deep. I heard that in the laughter. I think that's it.

The story of O.J. always was a story about the city of Los Angeles and about the Black community here and the Los Angeles Police Department. And so for me, the interest in doing a film about O.J. was connected to those interests.
