The interview begins smoothly with Dimoldenberg asking Bridgers when he thinks the world will end. “I think it’s running out now,” replied the artist almost instinctively, twitching with a sense of existentialism, “and there won’t be, like, fireworks and people falling to the center of the earth – I think it will to be. [una] a long and painful death.”

The subject quickly shifts to Bridgers’ nightmares, which he says he has “frequently”, usually situations where he “goes on stage and forgets my songs”. Later, they talk about fear again, with Dimoldenberg noting that one of their own is “being buried alive.” While Bridgers says her fear is “valid,” she found “after researching people being buried alive, it doesn’t happen that often.”

The artist does not dare to talk about her own fear, but she talks about her disdain for cats: “People post a photo of themselves on the Internet with one eye missing, with many bites, and they say: ‘My fool. cat! And I’m like, ‘What…? What’s funny about that?'”

Speaking of disdain, Bridgers wasn’t too fond of her younger self, noting that she was a “brutal, violent kid” who gave off “high vibes”.with Bad Seed She also revealed that as a child, she once accidentally drank a mixture of cigarette ashes and smoked from a water bottle. gulp before I realized what it was: it’s the worst thing I’ve ever tasted.”

Bridgers’ mother was also mentioned in the interview, in which Bridgers discussed her tendency to overshare: “She talks about what love means to her and then she says I sent her a picture of my crotch and I said, ‘What? ? And he says to me: ‘That’s the love, the intimacy of asking me.'” Bridgers refused to say whether there were, in fact, derbies.

I remember being really excited when I went to Nashville and saw that Elvis had done his Christmas album and, like, because it’s crazy, he had to make it look like Christmas in July. Also, it’s a great thing to do every year for charity, and it’s it’s fun. I like the tradition.”
