She realized she knew the song
- The first time director Jamie Babbit heard the song “Both Sides Now” on the radio, it immediately felt familiar. She realized she knew the song, not from Joni Mitchell’s expansive library of hits, but because it had been sung at the drug and rehab center her mom ran in Ohio, with different lyrics meant to amplify the perils of addiction.

It’s funny, because at the time, the whole idea of gender constructs in the binary was all very new. “But I’m a Cheerleader” is really making fun of the binary as much as anything else. It’s ridiculous to say that just because you become more feminine means you’re going to be less gay. I always wanted to tell a movie about a girl who really embrace...
A lot of it is access. I remember I was working on a TV show in Atlanta, and I said, “I need an assistant.” The producer said, “OK, I have a list of people who have been assistants before. We’ll just reach out to those people.” And I said, “I don’t want to do that. I want to put an ad on Craigslist. I’m sure I’ll get like 1,000 resumes. But let me ...
It’s so sexist because she never asked me to take out the lines about guys going down on guys. But I agreed to do it. I honestly think that [movie ratings] have gotten better. So thank God.

Mar 11, 2022 · Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now (Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970) It was in fact Joni Mitchell that wrote 'Both Sides, Now' at the tender age of just 23, and would be the first hit she wrote. That was despite the fact that the song was originally released by folk musician Judy Collins in 1967, as Joni wasn't a recognised performer so ...
Mitchell didn't release her first album, Song To A Seagull, until 1968; "Both Sides, Now" she included on her second album, Clouds, in 1969. The song is all about perspectives - clouds look very different depending on your vantage point. Mitchell got the idea when he was on a flight, reading the 1959 novel Henderson the Rain King by Saul Bellow.
