Okay, now the one issue that hasn't been addressed in these many interviews that I would ask is this: what was life like for you as a single mother? When you were younger and getting your career started, where was Mikolaj? I would ask this only to find out about Basia's experience as a single mother. I can't tell you the profound respect I have for this wonderful entertainer -- she is vastly talented, a warm and generous person, sentimental, practical, playful, a LIBRA ...

Thank you ever so much for this and all the interviews. This last interview, I think, is [at least for me] the biggest insight into Basia. The more I hear from her and about her, the more I admire her as a person. Of course I love her as an artist. I found the comments about the Polish people being kind of "parochial" and in a previous interview being "xenophobic" a little surprising. I am not Polish but I did not have this impression, esp. from Basia herself in the "New Day Video" where she says the Polish people are very very curious and open to other cultures. Probably the truth is the very best and worst of human traits exists in all of us, in all races, beliefs, etc. Thank you again.

Not too hard of a question! 1) The single mother thing, definitely. 2) I've always wondered- does she ever just freak out at the thought of singing these very personal songs live, or otherwise? Or, did she ever get scared to write about some personal incident in her life that she has written about? I mean, a lot of this stuff comes from a pretty emotional place. 3) Okay, what really happened when she left Matt Bianco? I just have a feeling there's more to the story than has been said. 4)What where her experiences growing up in Communist-era Poland? Hmmmm....

Talukdar" Subject: THE COPERNICAN CHRONICLES: You've done your best... I couldn't agree more with Becky - what a wonderful list this is. In retrospect, this list was one of the most remarkable things that happened to me in 1998. That last interview is, I believe, the closest that one can get to an artist without actually sitting in front of them. It is so refreshing to know that the little girl who went off into the green, all scared, has turned into this wonderful, warm, sensitive and FUNNY person who is helping to make the world (or at least ours) a smaller place. The following essay took a bit longer than usual to put together. Some of this is due to circumstantial events in my life right now. But a lot of it is because since I started working on this, I stopped on three separate occasions and started over from scratch. ************ "When heroes go down Man or woman revealed You can't expect any kind of mercy On the battlefield" - Suzanne Vega A while ago, some suggested that I write about heroes. We each hold, at different points in our lives, a mental picture of an individual to whom, above all, we have presented a state of unconditional admiration... ________________________________________________________________ It becomes incrementally difficult to reflect on what I perceive as a pedestal. It is even more difficult to delineate the particular sets of characteristics in people that I would rationally claim as being deserving of standing thereupon. Perhaps the dilemma arises from how we think of our heroes. In one of his short stories, Yukio Mishima writes of a young japanese warrior as he ponders about killing himself honorably rather than being taken captive. In the final hours, as he spends time with his beautiful wife, he toils over whether or not he should be the first to impale himself. Because, if she would die first, there would be no one to help him should his strength fail to drive the sword deep enough. And if he should be the first, then would she follow him, compelled by no reason other than being his widow? In his masterful way, Mishima portrays the young scared wife as the true hero of this story for she is the one who is ultimately forced to impale her dreams on the sharp and unforgiving edge of social practice and customs, most of which hold but a symbolic relevance to her. Heroes are born out of circumstances. From my earliest states of conscious thought, I can recall that my first heroes were my parents. It's perhaps an act of nature that a child should want to feel this way. But it does not necessarily mean that parents are necessarily required to play this role. Many don't. Mine will, for the rest of our mortal lives, remain, my parents. But my heroes have changed. It was with much irony that the weight of the above statement struck me because, at first glance, it would seem to be impossible. Given that we choose our heroes for a more or less tangible set of reasons, such intransience was a bit of a surprise. In the end, it is not the particular set of character traits or virtues, but that delicate combination of personality and circumstance that decides who the heroes are, how they come to be, how they rise and how they fall. With this then I arrived at the curious question - is Basia one of my heroes? I would like to preface any further discussion with the disclaimer that when it comes to the subject of Basia, mine is by no means an unbiased viewpoint. And I had to think really hard about answering this question to myself without giving into some superficial answer. Oddly enough, as much as I admire her work and her voice, I had not really given this much conscious thought upto this point. The answer I finally arrived at was that, in many ways, she HAS become one of my heroes. In ways that I was not fully cognizant of, her words have entered my life and made a difference. Her voice has filled my head and affected my thoughts. Because, those words, which were merely lyrics devoid of context when I first started listening to her, have now found a place in each of us, mainly because, some of the circumstances behind them have been revealed to us and they cease to be lyrics. Instead they are stories about real people and evocations of real feelings andas instruments of expression for the purpose that guided their creation. But mostly, she is a hero because there is an aspect of normalcy about her life that we have fortunately come to know of, that allows us to identify with her on a level that is not exclusively charged with emotion - such an interaction could not nurture any kind of a relationship between two indiciduals. This level is one of the ordinary. It's a Basia who we could expect to run into in a grocery store buying more or less the same things as we would, thinking about the same day-to-day household problems as we would, rather than hatching some grandiose scheme for the next world tour. And ironically, this is also the aspect in which our hero goes down a little because, while we take comfort in her approachability as a human being despite are artistic and commercial success, we also feel a little disappointed that our singular point of interaction with her - her concerts - may not be on the top of her list and we can't help feel rather helpless. To be able to feel for someone, an unconditional level of respect and gratitude, is perhaps the sincerest form of acknowledgement of their presence in our lives. They indeed ARE the heroes. Perhaps, not the heroes that are heaped with the encomiums for the world to see. These heroes are moving in to and out of the ebb and flow of our days and nights, as silently, but undeniably as fate itself. They take our sides when we need them and leave us when we don't. And every now and then, when we pause to look around, a friendly face appeares to be next to us - perhaps familiar, perhaps not. They may not be perfect, but they are the momentary inspiration that we sometimes need to take that unsure, but nevertheless fundamental, next step.

Okay, taking into consideration what Ray said about the Polish zenophobia (since she is in an interracial relationship and possibly going to have a biracial child, this would be a consideration I would think) and how people there just love to talk too much about other people's business, I have to ask, except for it being her home and all, why the heck go back to Jaworzno?!?!

Um, excuse me? >For me the private life and my family life is so much important that I >couldn't go through all those job things if I didn't have something to hold >on in my private life. This is certainly relevant in our recent discussion of this topic. And once again I say, all the power to her. :) A little Jaworzno girl. It was >incredible. Wow! What good taste they have. >A: No, there was never such a moment.

She is very realistic about these things, it sounds like. >A: Imagine that there was once such a moment and it was before I came to >England. I'm just really, really glad she didn't say it was recently. Okay, to sum: this is a different sort of interview than we are used to seeing, eh? I have gained an even greated admiration for her as a person-and I didn't think that was possible.
