The headline 'Elvis was a Drug Addict' shocked me the day after he died. I knew the age of innocence was over. I am writing a screenplay for a film set in that summer.

The best shot of President Trump.

So saddened by the death of Brian Wilson. Can't believe that Mike Love is claiming he "co-created" with Brian all The Beach Boys music. But then 'Love' - a not appropriate name in this case - was a bit of a jerk when I interviewed him in 1989! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mike-love-on-brian-wilson-good-vibrations-and-pet-sounds/id1520160566?i=1000712854432

Reality check in light of the continued perpetuation of the Bono myths and lies! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-if-the-u2-story-is-a-lie-eamon-dunphy-on-bono-1996/id1520160566?i=1000710556277

I am writing a screenplay - an Academy Award-winning screenwriter said I should write it, and it will make a "cool, stylised movie" - and I have no time for my podcasts. But I am delighted to see that I have passed the 150,000 download mark. I thank all my listeners who, clearly, have exquisite good taste! The Joe Jackson Interviews Podcast is available on Podbean, Spotify, Google, Audible, Alexa, etc. I reposted my 1996 chat with Eamon Dunphy about Bono. I see he's made another long-form promo video!

Saw this in 1970 which made me realise Cohen had a great sense of humour long before I met him

In Rome we have a new Pope dedicated to the greater good of the people particularly the poor. In Washington we have a President serving himself above all and mostly his billionaire friends. Let the battle between good and evil begin.

Pope Leo already took Vance to task months ago for his self-serving lies about Christianity! Great choice!

The morning I knew I had "arrived" when Gay Byrne mentioned me on his radio show!

I found this in The Joe Jackson Archive.Mine. My mother was mightily impressed when the great Gay Byrne praised me in this clip. I thanked him a month later....
