Joe Jackson Interview

[Macfan4life]

This is a great find. I love that she clarified Oh Daddy about being about Mick. She was writing it as Mick's wife that was separating from Mick. Makes sense.

She seemed to walk back her coke use in this interview. Years later she would admit cocaine kept her up all night and inspired Songbird. She also said her and Stevie would wear spoons around their necks in previous interviews. She also said she did coke every night and drank a bottle of champagne. But in 1990 it seemed to be still a secret.

The interviewer asking her about forced sterilization was a bit much. Chris seemed to take it well but an interviewer should never make the interviewee feel uncomfortable.

I love older interviews because we know the future. Her description of "gutsy" songs on BTM is sort of spot on.
