I first heard this catchy song when I was a child, so it was a joy to finally meet and talk with tis writer.
Jon Bon Jovi talking about AIDS, gangs, rock 'n' roll and apologising for his insulting use on stage of the word "faggots." Repost
I'm on holdiay, so here's a repost of a chat I had with Joe Elliot about his music heroes. Enjoy. And thank you to all my listeners
AS great chat with a fellow music lover. For fellow rock fans.
On Christy's anniversary I am posting again this staggeringly brave interview he gave to me this time 20 years ago.
I'm posting this again because it reminds me of the first time I met Dolores, at the start of her career, when she was so young and so innocent, and it shows.
I used this interview in my Ebook, From Darkness to Light, becuase it is a story that may inspire people who are going through hard times. That's always been my main aim as a writer.
My father once said to me, 'Joseph, working-class people like us are not supposed to write poetry." He told a few people that he wrote poetry. I still write poetry and rarely show it to anyone. But 46 years after I found him dead from a fall at the age of 50, I am putting this poem in a podcast to celebrate the love a son can feel for a father.
It's great when you interview a musician who turns out to be as fanatical about music and certain music heroes, as you are
Richard, as I say in his bio, Richard Harris Raising Hell and Reaching for Heaven, hated the idea that all his fans wanted to hear about were his brawling and women and drunkenness, but this is a bit of fun!
I always championed the Sawdoctors, and here we have great fun about the music they love and created.
When this interview was published nearly thirty years ago, a magazine editor cut this section about Dunphy's experience with U2. I think it should be on-the-record.
Sedaka says he has "balls and substance" and that Manilow doesn't. You decide!
I had a bit of fun with my namesake while we discussed his musical influences. Btw, he was originally 'David Jackson' and I was always 'Joe'!
A great wide-ranging chat with Boy George, who had told me in 1987 that he fancied Larry!
A timely repost for this fun recording made in my home studio in Dublin, where Nils saw an 'Elvis guitar' I had and said "Bruce would love that." He didn't say Bruce who.
This was an amazing chat I had with Taylor in a hotel in London in 1988. It remains provocative and controversial. Repost
At home with Mark, in his home studio, talking abut the music that made him what he is
I think we all should define for ourselves what is "cool." At one point it was decidedly uncool to liker the music of the Carpenters, but here I happily celebrated them on an Irish radio show
Here in 1993, I took Jon Bon Jovi to task for using the word "faggots" on stage, and he talks about all that other stuff. A slice of rock history.
