Didn't work? That's like saying Woodstock (the original) didn't work, Punk didn't work, etc.
The Lilith Fair represented and celebrated a significant cultural shift that is still with us even if the Lilith Fair itself is not.
Why is the host trying to encourage her to put down other female artists? I'm glad she just brushed it off
90’s female rock was and is all you need
I grew up in a narrow minded smaller community and felt like a loser, outsider for most of my teens. Attending a few Lilith Fairs was a amazing calm, safe space where I met people like me. It literally assured me I was not a freak, and was one of a few things that saved my life. It was also like that for many hundreds of others. It launched careers and created strong female role models for a generation. It was an important part of the culture at the time.
It worked fine. Whoever thinks it wasn't an awesome tour is an idiot. Fans are STILL hoping for a Lilith Tour reprise
Lilith Fair was a major shift in the music industry and allowed a number of women to create successful careers, inspire many others to pursue careers outside of music, see in strong positive women role models. It also opened up the idea that women can be whatever they want, and created a great safe space for young girls and women attending. It changed thousands of peoples lives. Because some white guy did not experience it does not mean it did not happen...WTF George. The world does not revolve around one type of person Wake up George.
I got to go to Lilithfair once. It turned into a monsoon rain storm. We got sopping wet. Everything got cancelled. The water was so deep we had to wade to the car. The air conditioner got turned on in the car home. I ended up with bronchitis. Please bring back Lilithfair. I want to go again. I'm now 48 but I'm still a 25 year old festival chick. ;)
That sucks. In Baltimore the weather was beautiful during Lilith Fair 1998 and I have great memories from that weekend. (And when revived in 2012 I went there too.)
Why was it named Lilith ?
Do you guys know the mythic story of a ‘Lilith’ ?

Literally,I'm the same age and same @lynda!
It definitely worked, I was actually there.
They discuss several subjects in this interview but of course the clickbait title.
IMO, it did work. It was an important part of history and it ran it's course.
This guy covered Canadian hockey. Now he's down with the women's struggle. He's down with whatever struggle he's paid to cover. BTW I love Lilith Fair and have all the CDs.
Are we just repeating old chestnuts about representation etc? Feb 2024 day after Grammys... all major nominees are women (save for 1 male) in most of the big categories. And this isn't recent... I was a music writer in the 90s and remember when the Billboard Charts Hot 100 Top 10 albums were: Celine Dion, Sarah McLaughlin, kd lang, Shania Twain, Alanis... not a penis in the list and they sold MILLIONS AND MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of albums. I recall the 80s... Madonna, Whitney, Janet, and on and on... I remember the 70s with 2 women and hour... but, as a big lifelong music fan, and former entertainment writer... I'm struggling to see the struggle in representation and charts, sales, etc. If you're talking sexism, that's still an issue and always will be because... humans. Maybe it's time to change the dialogue from "oh we're so hard-done by" to "this is how we changed the industry".
It's so funny because there was quite a bit of complacency at the time this interview was conducted but also a much more one dimensional version of feminism as well.....the culture would shift quite a bit a few years later
You think the perspective has changed dramatically since 2012? I took my Mother to see Sarah around 2009 and we both enjoyed her performance though we are 30 years apart in age different generations. Some people can appreciate female talent like Sarah and some cannot. I've seen Sheryl Crow too the 90s allowed more creative freedom I doubt artists like Alanis Morissette would thrive as well now as 94 either people were allowed to be emotional too.
What do they mean it didn't work? It was the best time.

A warning to practice free speech..only CBC…wow.
Hunger Games is a PG 13 movie so 10 is too young by those standards unfortunately it's a violent ugly world children likely see hunger and violence in the streets or their own homes too.
Charm on legs... (I’m talking about Sarah)...
Love to hear a conversation between Sarah and Jordan Peterson.
How so?
why hes a buffoon
Cause i wasnt invited in here now.
Black could not mind his own business. E . I
So unfortunately. Sarah is such an attractive, talented, well spoken lady but has drank all the feminist, victim narrative kool aid.
Well the interview is from 12 years ago and the male host said himself when he worked in radio they were discouraged from playing two female artists consecutively and the industry didn't really encourage an all female music festival either so are you just delusional about the reality she described? Jewels story was very interesting too she was homeless singing in coffee shops so the record company really expected to "own" her immediately that's showbiz hard for both genders more so for women though like most of society at least she's not talking about having been sexually assaulted like Weinsteins staff or Nygards Staff maybe you don't think those are victims either?
