One reason some of these interviews seem fun and relaxed is because there is a good chance they did drugs together prior to the interview starting. It was common in the 70s and 80s for everyone to do a bunch of lines before starting. So its like a conversation at a party rather than an interview. Mark Goodman (MTV) and Stevie had a very close relationship in the 80's. She trusted him a lot. Mark tells the story of the amount of coke they did together before interviews. But in his book he did coke with almost every rock star LOL.
Stevie's interview just prior to the RAL release shows Stevie very uncomfortable the entire interview even though the woman is being nice but asking good questions. You can tell Stevie is out of her element and did not party with the interviewer before it began.
