You know, I don't think I'd want to interview Bob. I'd like to shake his hand and say a simple heartfelt thank you...but to sit down and do an interview? I don't think I could get through it. Not without turning into a blathering babbling idiot anyway. The best I could hope for would be to not look like a complete moron.
It'd be the same with The Stones. Everyone always says stuff like, "Oh man, I'd love to sit down and have a drink with Keef." Well, I'm not sure I'd want to do that. I mean, the only result that could come from it is that Keef will think you are a twat. You can't DRINK with the guy, and you are not going to dazzle him with your Stones knowledge. You can't ask him anything that he hasn't already been asked about a zillion times.
No, if I'd ever meet someone that I really really admired, I'd be happy with a handshake and saying something like, "Your work has brought me many hours of joy. Thank you for that." Get an autograph, maybe a picture.
Of course, given the oppotunity, I would certainly DO the interview...but I don't think I'd be looking forward to it. It'd be kinda like waiting to see the hangman.
Even worse, locally you'd be known for the rest of your life as "The guy who met (insert personal icon here)". Who the fuck wants that. |

Thanks for posting the interview, Gazza...
But I have to tell ya, one of the most interesting things that Bob said, early on in the interview, wasn't in that transcript!
If I remember correctly, part of the intro was Dylan doing "Blowin' In The Wind"...and Bradley first asked him something like 'Where did THAT come from?'. Dylan's response was "...it came from the well spring of creativity." The look on Ed's face was priceless...LOL!
Pammy I'll send you the interview on DVD. Merry Christmas!
I could be mistaken...I didn't record it to double check.
Somebody check it out for me?
You can do this yourself once you get my package! Sweet technology! LOL
It's one of those things that's gonna drive me nuts...
Martha...I would love to be your publicity manager!
If there's a will (and I KNOW there is, lol)...you can bet yer ass I'll find a fucking way!
WAY! I'll send you my resume!
xxxooo,

Just why did Ed get an ear-ring a couple of years ago? Was it done to bring in the 16-18 year old demographic? I mean, these kids are playing Halo 2 on XBox, so why put something in your ear? I mean, it would've been different if he got one when he was a 22 year old punk (like me; 'cept I don't have an ear-ring). There had to be a reason, and I doubt it has anything to do with appreciating how it looks on him!
"Dude, did you hear about that guy on TV that does like, interviews with famous people and has like, an ear-ring?"
"Oh yeah; man, I bet that guy gets all the pu$$y -- dude, what time is '60 Minutes' on?" |
