A look back at Morrissey’s mammoth interview of the legendary Joni Mitchell, from 1997
Far Out - October 18, 2019
"Rolling Stone graciously offered Morrissey, the enigmatic lead singer of The Smiths to interview one of his icons, the unstoppable artistic powerhouse of Joni Mitchell. The pair share many likenesses.
Both are uncompromising on their art and ethics and both are often misrepresented as one-trick ponies. But in this interview, Morrissey and Mitchell share some common ground and some clear divisions."

I think between the Rolling Stone transcript and the audio it's almost all there.
