I...The Interviewer..

So I'm new as an interviewer. I'm not really sure what it's going to end up like as far as the length, how involved my interviewee is, how into the subject she is, or how open and honest she will be. Then again, I am interviewing my mom, so, I'm sure that we will probably work together to make the interview sound good. The original person I wanted to interview apparently has one free hour over a period of 5 full days. this one hour is when I have a class. Ain't that a bitch.

I do, however, know what i want from the interview. I'm doing my interview on personal accounts of the influence of music and counterculture in the 1960s. I've had to change it around a bit, because, though my mom was influenced heavily by the counterculture movement, it occurred for her much more greatly during the late 1970s and early 1980s. So she is much more subject to the influence of the first movement in the 60s, rather to the actual movement itself. So, I'm basically hoping to get some juicy stuff. I want to know all about following the Grateful Dead in college. I want to know what the college experience was like living with a bunch granola heads in Colorado. I want to know what it was like with her conservative midwestern family from Iowa representing the exact opposite morals that she did during her years in Colorado. I want to know how her political views have been shaped to this day; what she thinks of protest movements, occupy wall street and such. I wanna know how she looks back on it all, now living a life that is probably an opposite world compared to her life in college and the four or five years that followed.
I think that if my Mom is willing to talk as much as I know she can, I think this could be a hell of an interview..
