The title of this podcast is playfully provocative, although more seriously it is based on my new Amazon eBook, Louis Walsh. My Story. Also, the sound is not great because the clip comes from an interview Louis and I did in 2000 in a noisy Dublin restaurant. But I am making the clip available as a podcast, partly becuase it gives us an insight into the young Louis Walsh, listening to Motown records, dancing the Hucklebuck, and the slightly older Louis who managed rock bands such as Time Machine. It was then, as he says during this podcast, that Walsh tried dope and cocaine, though he now claims not to have told me the latter. Much as I love the guy, it is a silly claim given that the quote was used in both a national Irish newspaper and national Irish magazine in 2000. So, here, for the record, is that exchange, which is only an incidental detail in. Louis Walsh. My Story.
