I love Camille Paglia but I would like to complement the interviewer. How refreshing for an interviewer who keeps the focus on the guest instead of constantly trying to interject their ideas as is often done nowadays. She asked good questions when appropriate but always with an eye toward the ideas of the guest to be shown. Well done.
That's exactly what the corporate media has lost. Watch some of the 1950's "Meet the Press" type interviews on TH-cam. The goal was to extract the ideas of the guest as accurately as possible through critical but unbiased questions.
Thank you.I listen to Camille Paglia's interviews several times with nothing but HUGE gratitude.Thank you to all concerned for presenting this to the international public domain.
It's so refreshing to get to listen to a person holistically explain her complex worldview without constant interruptions by a journalist hell-bent on being the star of the show - as is the case now. Moreover, I think Camille brings up good points - which are still relevant today. People are hungry for appreciation and are sick of the almighty red pen.
For anyone who wants to appreciate poetry but doesnt know how, the incomparable Camille Paglia has a fabulous new(ish) book called Break, Blow, Burn which introduces, to the average person, passion and appreciation for the poetic word and structure. I've never had the least interest in poetry, even tho I love to write, but the fabulous intelligence of Paglia has ignited a flame in me that I never knew existed. Her stunning insights into poetic form, words, language, cadence as well as her seemingly bottomless understanding of art history is breathtaking and the cherry on top is her incredibly passionate delivery. All of this makes me want to read more poetry. Every word that comes out of her mouth gets hold of me and I just feel an insatible desire to read and understand more.
It is great. She reminds me of Christopher Hitchens, another polemicist who understood when it was time to construct a grandiose, intellectual argument and when it was time to simply tell people to fuck off.
It never stops amazing me that every time I watch an old Paglia interview, almost everything she says can be applied to today, from feminism to the universities to politics.
i also want more specificity from Camille on her critique of university. i found my curriculum to be to heavily "gen ed" heavy and survey art classes that just call for memorizing artists, titles, dates
This woman has some really good insights on the many things our government has made so much worse. She was saying what Jordan Patterson is now so famous for saying. Ironically he also considers himself a liberal, but has a lot of common sense views & of course the far left calls him right wing.
I wonder why she doesn't have the "okay" tic in this segment. Maybe that tic is a sign of her being nervous. Her speech patterns here are much smoother than in her Charlie Rose interviews.
This was soon 20 years ago, wow! In 2008 it was only 10 years later and Hillary did candidate for the presidency and 8 years later she almost became president so I wonder what Camille has been thinking about the prospects of a female president these later years :)
Wonder if Camille still believes Hillbillary will become a spiritual spokesperson for women today ? Sad though Camille just went down a notch in my eyes.

I have ridiculous amounts of respect for Camille Paglia. But she is just plain wrong on the issue of causes for homosexuality and "gay conversion" therapies. I do hope that in the nearly 20 years since this interview she has changed her mind based on all the new evidence that has become available. I have seen a couple interviews with her from the late 2000s and early 2010s, but none that brought up this issue again.
Yet Camille is a lesbian. She's more pragmatic than dogmatic. She views absolutism with horror, so gay fundamentalism would be an obvious anathema to her. Anything dictatorial and totalitarian--regardless of the subject--will naturally be rejected by her philosophy of prima-Indivuduality. You can certainly disagree, but she's not inconsistent.
You have to have a nuanced knowledge of sexual fluidity to understand the notion of "conversion" as a factor in homosexuality. I can't speak for her thought, but conversion exists, but is by no means anything stronger than a contributing factor.
What a great retort to that hostile caller, that the caller's emotional outburst doesn't help women at all. And Camille doesn't appear ruffled in the least.
...not even Jimmy Cagney or Groucho Marx , in 30's movies, speaks as fast as Camille. Startling, stimulating public speaker, but most people would suffer an asthma attack, trying to keep -a pace with this lady's verbal dexterity. Hooked on her views, nevertheless...and breathe...phew!
The Beatles, really??? But the Spice Girls were *gone* from the scene two years after this segment was recorded. The Beatles are an enduring cultural miracle that will continue to revitalize culture for generations to come. The Spice Girls??? The Spice Girls was a *product* concocted by *men* for public consumption, and not much more. The Beatles was a self-generated organization created for the advancement of their own creativity. Lennon-McCarteny? Two men, famously competing against each other in the co-creation of music - yet famously committed to the absolute co-crediting of their individual creations to the *partnership.* Women are *never* observed doing this in nature. Being a "member of a team," "hanging together as group" creating new and revolutionary cultural forms - in the way that men do sometimes for decades - is not a female attribute. Now what? For men hanging together with the people you competed against was an evolutionary *necessity* - for women it was an evolutionary impediment. Men compete against men and produce greatness, women compete against women hardly at all, and reinforce cultural homogeneity when they do band togethger. A woman by herself, like Madonna, can rise to the stars - with a male backing band - but you never see four women banding together of their own accord and do the same. In homeopathy this is called the Apis miasma - the queen bee syndrome. There is some new science out there that shows strongly that men are *significantly* better able to set aside past adversity towards one another [fellow men] than women are able to set aside adversity with fellow women - the supposed 'peace makers.' Evolutionarily for men, being able to let 'bygones be bygones' was much more important than for women, and it shows in the real world. Feminists are going to have to face up to the facts that overcoming this evolutionary phenomena will be more difficult than simply forcing, coercing, or bribing men to act like women. The fatal flaw in Feminism is that it systematically fails to see the necessity in masculinity.
10 Years Later they had a Reunion Tour in which more dates were added as the demand was so high.... This past Summer they had a UK Tour which was a hot ticket, it drew people from all over the world to go see them perform..... Also quite a few of the Pop Pricesses that appear after the went cold have aspects of The Spice Girls....
Well, I always liked CP, even though I don't always agree (with anyone, for that matter). But she obviously has no idea whatsoever about language acquisition. What she says about bilingual education is just uninformed subjective waffling. She should ask a linguist about that. Or read a book.

I love her, she's brilliant and utterly refreshing. Agree with her or not, she'd debate anyone on the merits and embarrass most.
I love the fact that they were discussing the Spice Girls on C-SPAN.
Camile Paglia = beautiful, brainy, fiery, and assertive...then and now.
Thank you for uploading this!! I don't always agree with Paglia, but I often do, and I always listen to her carefully. She's fantastic.
Can't believe she's 51 years old here.
😯 wow
No way...??! Damn.
She looks at least ten years younger, even with the Rogue white streak
I love when Camille puts the caller in her place at 16:48. I love the interviewer. I would like to see more of her.
Well turn your TV off madam 😂😂😂
I'm a teacher I have to wake up the class at 8:30 lmao she is awesome dude! 👆😅

ironic that the caller was far more difficult to listen to, a perpetual heaving
Thanks for the upload! Anything on Camille suits me fine. Thanks again!
Wow I love Camille and as a male, I'm be proud to associated myself with her version of feminism. She was also a hottie back in the day it looks like.
Geebz feminism, lmao
Pro-woman, not anti-men. 21st century feminism struggles to say anything positive about women.

I just love, love Paglia! Truly original and a true feminist.
Pardon my male chauvinism but Camille is GORGEOUS.
lmao @ 16:40. She really doesn't give a fuck and its great.
It is great. She reminds me of Christopher Hitchens, another polemicist who understood when it was time to construct a grandiose, intellectual argument and when it was time to simply tell people to fuck off.
So much foreshadowing!
SOO ahead of her time in predicting the 2010s
16:00 is GOLD
Crazy the feminist that called to tell Camille how to speak, that shes abrasive. Up is down...
Absolutely. How can any police anothers own speech is beyond pathetic its stalinist. And im a millennial !
thank u for posting!!!
17:00 I LOST IT WHEN THE LADY ON THE PHONE CALLS HER CATTY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Paglia is truly the goat
Well turn your TV off madam 😂😂😂
Thanks for the upload! I do not always agree with her comments, but I have always enjoyed her.
I love this woman!
It never stops amazing me that every time I watch an old Paglia interview, almost everything she says can be applied to today, from feminism to the universities to politics.
Prophet of the internet from the beginning. Love her.
Oh my God that caller at 16:02...
Thank you so much for this!
Thanks for posting this. ☺️🙌
i also want more specificity from Camille on her critique of university. i found my curriculum to be to heavily "gen ed" heavy and survey art classes that just call for memorizing artists, titles, dates
Nice to see Linda Richman of Coffee Talk fame call in around 16:02
Whenever she's talking, I check the video speed and it's never over 1x
It helps to go to settings, and adjust Camille to .75 speed.
Excellent! So advanced! And so right!
I love this woman! She kicks ass...
linking the feminists with powers in democratic party so well illustrated now, you are so perceptive...even prophetic
It would have been great to take her class in college
HOW WONDERFUL! THANK YOU!!
Camille is always fair in her positions.
27:02 CAMILLE IS A GENIUS!!!

Gawd she's funny and fun to watch!
Watching this on x1.25 speed :P
salon?! they'd never allow her now...
MissPennyGoodman She speaks her mind and does not get on any “bandwagon”! Times have changed but my hope is that they will change again.
I wonder what she thinks of Shillary now...
+SilentMott Look at reason tv interview with her and on a side note look up black Phillip
She didn't vote for her and said she'd never vote for her and that's she was the worst possible candidate.
Loathing.
ajaja that LOSER caller at 16:00 I CANNOT
So this is what happened to Barb!
She came back from the Upside Down incognito and became a C-Span interviewer hahaha
I wonder why she doesn't have the "okay" tic in this segment. Maybe that tic is a sign of her being nervous. Her speech patterns here are much smoother than in her Charlie Rose interviews.
Sometimes when people age they develop more ticks.
Because charlie rose sits close and stares her down
This woman was and is a prophet
'Women struggle to work in groups'
'We need a woman as President or VP'
Walk before you run ladies
That doesn't mean NO woman can work in groups. Give me a break
the 'moderate line' was disconnected in 2008, probably
This was soon 20 years ago, wow! In 2008 it was only 10 years later and Hillary did candidate for the presidency and 8 years later she almost became president so I wonder what Camille has been thinking about the prospects of a female president these later years :)

21:16 "GET TO THE CHOPPAH!!!!"
you can't mention the Beatles and the Spice Girls in the same sentence.
Pop music for adolescents. Some adolescents don’t grow up.
💕 what a badass
She even ripped off Sontag’s gray patch.
My prediction now in 2020: first US female president will be a Republican woman (or any woman not a Dem) perhaps Nikki Haley.
24:00 Can you believe she talks about plus size fashion trend ahead of its time by 20 years?
What a great retort to that hostile caller, that the caller's emotional outburst doesn't help women at all. And Camille doesn't appear ruffled in the least.
