So much better than Alastair Campbell's interview! James actually lets her finish her sentences. And what sentences they are! Caitlin is amazing. So glad Sali Hughes introduced her to me.
Such an entertaining interview...but I am now brain numb 😱 I have only ever met one other person who can speak this fast! I often read a book in a day, but it would take me a week to speak this many words 😂
Caitlin, your experience at the Melody Maker was so unfortunate. I was a music journalist from about 1970 to 1982 and I used to know your old editor Jonesey, as you call him, when he had just joined the MM. I was freelancing for the NME on and off for about three years when Nick Logan and Neil Spencer were the editors. We were given immense freedom to write about what we wanted. If we were passionate about it and felt it had its place then the editors would say: "OK, give me 1,000 words." I was rarely sub-edited. I mostly wrote their country music coverage which, as you can imagine, was not exactly, normal NME fodder, but I convinced them that the music was changing and reaching a younger audience and they said: "OK, tell us what's happening." I was apparently successful enough that NME alternative culture stalwarts like the late Mick Farren started to take an interest in the music. Tony Parsons later summed all this up by saying: "Stay close to the things you love and take a baseball bat to the rest." You don't have to slag everything off as a matter of course. Taking up your narrative in How To Be A Woman, when Allan Jones joined the Melody Maker he had the mane of auburn hair but instead of having the build of a bison was slim, sylph-like and girlish, to the extent that the NME gossip column christened him "epicene, giggling Allan Jones.'" He pioneered the journalism of provocation - getting wildly pissed, asking the rock stars impertinent or even insulting questions, and getting his head punched. I think the MM signed him up as their answer to the NME's Nick Kent who was the other enfant terrible of music journalism. All great fun back then. It's been getting corporate ever since.
Me, she is a typical self-absorbed left-wing narcissist who is convinced she has the right to be heard and everyone else finds her as fascinating as she finds herself. What has she actually achieved in any meaningful sense?
ok I have come back to this and I think she has a great deal of relevant stuff say... and is quite charming.... and the thing she says about 2011 is very true.... I refer to its as Year Zero! Like nothing existed before than....
Oh my god my brain hurts..... had to stop at 8mins in. She displays the characteristics of those people whose sole purpose in life is to say everything they possibly can at the highest rate to ensure they get it all out before they expire... as if the air around them and the time they have left, is coming to an end.
OMG she is overwhelming. She is a typhoon of words and energy and wit. A force of nature. She would trample all over the proverbiable immovable object in seconds. Had to pause the video just to draw a breath.
Me too. . . For some reason I think it could be Rob Newman. Newman and Baddiel were the harbingers of 'comedy being the new rock n roll', and (like Jerry Sharp) they had a show that was set in their respective flats - Newman And Baddiel in Pieces. Just a guess, though.
Listening to her I'm struck by the fact that underneath all the references to other work (which might be seen as a position of cultural posturing and signalling), she doesn't actually have anything original to say. It is all secondary commentary masquerading through speed. This what happens when the 'right person' has a book to sell - despite being sold as 'alternative'.
Male comedians are just funnier it's nothing to do with sexism or anything along those lines. Name one female comic that would get into the top 100 of all time?
Because people who use excessive punctuation should never be gratified (joke). Peterson lends apparent authority to some pretty biased and regressive positions. Also whether he would like to admit it or not he is clearly a troubled man and I think the public attention is not helping him.
Caitlin is so hilariously funny. And she's such an intelligent, articulate, down-to-earth kind lady. I love her books. Can't wait for more.

This interview is SO sweet. It's lovely to watch. I think he felt slightly bashful in some moments.

I DONT NO HER
HOW CAN SHE GUIDE OTHERS ABOUT BEING FAMOUS IF SHES NOT FAMOUS?
I absolutely adore Caitlin! Loved this interview!!
Excellent as ever, although my head boggling due to the speed talking of Moran, much easier to read her. Thank you again.

Does anyone know if there's an online resource for her reviews? Really want to read the Neds atomic dustbin one ha
Who doesn't love this woman? I introduced my sister to her and she hasn't stopped laughing yet.
Me, she is a typical self-absorbed left-wing narcissist who is convinced she has the right to be heard and everyone else finds her as fascinating as she finds herself. What has she actually achieved in any meaningful sense?
Really enjoyed this, could listen to for hours
Caitlin is fabulous, funny and frenetic I ADORE her xxxxxx

I say again, I bloody love you Caitlin! And thank god for an interesting and intelligent interview!
thanks! it works fast
What's the name of the documentary series by Miranda Foreman? The Descender Woman?
amanda foreman - the ascent of woman
doloreshaze10 The Absence of Women. It started off as a book
OMG she is overwhelming. She is a typhoon of words and energy and wit. A force of nature. She would trample all over the proverbiable immovable object in seconds. Had to pause the video just to draw a breath.
AKA a big mouthed narcissist.
She’s my celeb crush
I would desperately like to know who Jerry Sharp was supposed to be.
Me too. . . For some reason I think it could be Rob Newman. Newman and Baddiel were the harbingers of 'comedy being the new rock n roll', and (like Jerry Sharp) they had a show that was set in their respective flats - Newman And Baddiel in Pieces. Just a guess, though.
she's awesome!!
I feel like I ought to adore Caitlin Moran but I never quite manage to warm to her for some reason. Very odd.
Love Caitlin. She's so clever and bright but it was a disappointing love-fest of an interview.
I have a friend who's hard of hearing, could we please get a transcript? :D
Jesus how many words was that. But in a good way.
Loving that KLF top. Great taste. ;)
Breathe
Is this women the Guinness book of records fastest talker or something wtf
I think she comes in second after Camille Paglia.
these interviews are great but it has to be said.... the non stop talking is hard to be bothered with.....
Spoken exactly like somebody who uses ellipses instead of commas and full stops.
Are you seriously complaining about talking in an interview?
Has Catlain joined the jamms?
You can tell she's half Irish because she speaks like a banjo.
Fucking hell she talks fast
ADHD or perhaps bi-polar. But, I'm now numb and have forgetten everything she said.
Bpd perhaps?
If thats what you think of Jordan Peterson then you don't understand Jordan Peterson.
She never watched anything made by men until she was 30.
I like everything she is saying apart from the oppressionist attitude
but that is most of her...
Wasn't aware of this lady and she seems ok but has a lot of bitterness.
What makes you say that? Asking out of genuine interest.
Why?
@@wonderwoman5528 haven't seen the video in months but I remember her always seeing the worst in things.
@@xxGARYXGLITTERxx ah right, I see. Thanks for replying.
@@ollyf5088 Because he can,
bla
Sad

It's not surprising that a man would think Caitlin is redundant. You probably think all feminist writers are the same. I can assure you she is not.
Hmm Mr Blunden. I’m an old bloke and disagree. I have heard her present arguments in a very fresh and indeed original way.
No, not at all. But I suspect that you believe using such generalities adds up to an argument or a rebuttal. A bit like Moran.
First
Male comedians are just funnier it's nothing to do with sexism or anything along those lines. Name one female comic that would get into the top 100 of all time?
Victoria Wood. Joan Rivers. Lucille Ball. Betty White. Tracey Ulman.
JOE! None of these women are gonna fuck you using this strategy!
*_PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE_* try to get Jordan Peterson on this show‼️👍🏽‼️👍🏽‼️👍🏽‼️👍🏽‼️👍🏽 Make it happen ‼️‼️‼️
Zonumxela - no don't. Please don't.
Paul R , why tho⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️

Paul R , maybe James O’Brian can put Jordan Peterson in his place and expose him for what you say he is🤔💭⁉️⁉️😄😆🤣
Female Milo.
