Joe Jackson Interview

[aleuzzi]

She handled herself and those questions brilliantly. Never ruffled, always generous, and pretty honest.

Yes, as Lis mentions, she seems in denial about her own drinking, but otherwise, she’s candid, honest, and quite at ease answering whatever was thrown at her.

I did enjoy her response about her significant role in the making of Tango, and her recognition that she and Mick in particular helped a lot/suggested parts on Lindsey’s songs/ had ideas about the overall production. She never gets her due re: Tango. It’s clear she was involved a lot in its making.

I did not always appreciate the interviewer’s supposedly “hard hitting” questions, which honestly seemed aimed at stirring up **** more than anything else. Maybe it was the way he asked the questions? Something about his voice? Certainly, he did not always seem as if he were listening to her even-tempered answers, often making “yah, yah” mumbles while she spoke, as if he wanted her to finish so he could try and catch her off guard with another question. I was not especially impressed with his approach.
