Part of my goal as an interviewer always was to make readers of my articles and/or listeners to my interviews on the radio feel that they are sitting nearby during an interview, eavesdropping, and pretending, for example, that they were in a bar having a drink with their favorite star. This certainly was my aim specifically when I edited together for an edition of my radio series The Joe Jackson Tapes Revisited, two interviews I did with Joe Dolan, the first in 2000 for a radio show, and the second, for my slot in the Sunday Independent newspaper. The latter actually took place in the bar of the Clarence Hotel in Dublin, at Joe's request and when I arrived he was having a pint. So, grab a seat, and maybe a drink, sit down and join us!
