Sarah McLachlan on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with SM Sarah McLachlan

The Hang, in Short

Cheryl Crow opens this episode with the sweetest reveal: she texted Adam Scott after listening to his Good Hang episode during a brutal three-and-a-half hour drive home from visiting her mom in Missouri who "isn't making memories anymore." Amy had no idea they were friends. Turns out they met at Big Slick, the Kansas City fundraiser with Paul Rudd. Then the real conversation starts. Amy talks to Sarah McLachlan about Lilith Fair, that groundbreaking festival that proved wrong every agent who said audiences wouldn't buy tickets to see multiple women perform. Cheryl calls it "a gentle fuck you to the norms." She remembers promoters insisting only gay women would show up, but families and men packed the crowds too. Amy had a coughing fit before recording. Very glamorous. Sarah almost threw up at the Rockefeller tree lighting while pregnant. Also glamorous.
