Given that this is the tale of a celebrity moving from darkness to light, even in the sense of feeling suicidal at one point, to then reasserting life, it is an interview I include in my Ebook, At The End of A Storm Is A Golden Sky. It is available from Amazon and from my website joejacksoninterviewer.com
The Daily Mail picked this programme as a Radio Highlight of the Week August 2018.
‘Joe Jackson interview Joan in 2004 ahead of her first Irish gig. He told her that the Irish were bound to love her sense of humor, given that the put-downs come as easy to us as raising a pint. She then went on to tell Jackson her life story, which involved in a near suicide attempt, a tail she told the punchline rooted in the kind of black humor we Irish also love. She also discussed the influence of Lenny Bruce, her early career in Greenwich Village getting alongside the likes of Dylan and Richard Pryor, how her family rejected her choice of career the suicide of our husband Edgar and ageism in the media.’
Please note that the sound of the original cassette tapes improves eight or so minutes into the interview.
