The Joe Jackson Interviews

U2 tried to "mincemeat" Dunphy in terms of aspects of his book he once told me.

If they did, why, one wonders?

 

A clip from one of the four interviews I did with Tori that make up my Ebook, Tori Amos Soul Searching and Uncensored. 

What she says about gun control still applies

I made a radio documentary about Doris Day and it changed a former girlfriend's opinion of the woman in an hour.

 

I do think it is time for a rethink abiut the music, movies, persona and person that was DD

I posted this podcast when Christine died. It's always good to listen to her in conversation. It was a joy for me to get to talk with her. 

I dug out our 1992 cassette tape and made this podcast within a half- hour of hearing that Edna O' Brien has died. Id I sound sad in the intro. I was. 

Edna O' Brien Rest in Peace. 

I was around when the Beatles broke through, As an Elvis fan I wasn't supposed to like them but as soon as I heard You Can't Do That' I became a fan of at least Lennon. Then I grew to love The Beatles, whose songs formed the soundtrack of my life as pre-teen and teenager. So, meeting George Martin was a total joy

I am writing a memoir, so new podcasts are few. But fellow Bowie fans might enjoy this chat I had on Irish radio in 1997

This is one of the few occasions Neil talked in public about the Mafia.

His management weren't impressed that he did. Neil told me he didn't mind. 

I am reposting this because in five days it will be a year since we lost Sinead. 

In 2000 she told me the song she'd want played at her funeral.

R.I.P. Sinead O'Connor 

I posted this when the movie was released. I stand over all my criticisms of Luhrmann who turned Elvis's life story into, he said "the love story between Parker and Presley" and made him a male Judy Garland because Baz loves Judy. The mov ie is a tissue of lies, to quote Shakespeare.
