A Commentary on the Interview


Terry: A very interesting song to write about. Something Japanese, something to write about, something you’re writing about.

[F**kin' a, and they say good rock journalism is dead - JY]

Terry: Choice one. Well take it away, mate.

[I refer to my previous comment - JY]

Terry: So out of that genre you sort of like Joni Mitchell and African funk and all that?

[What genre is that again? - JY]

Terry: An interesting song to write about to, someone who’s been a housewife for twenty years and waiting for someone.
Man of Errors: And then he doesn’t want to be there. Oh well, that’s life I guess.
Terry: Yeah, and pretty hard case to about it.

[Twenty years of quiet desperation... that's life I guess - JY]

Man of Errors: Still, it’s expensive to do all these things.
Terry: That’s true, it's very expensive, but still, it’s good.

[What's good? Things being very expensive? - JY]

Man of Errors: Underneath it all is sex and death.
Terry: Well there’s nothing wrong with that.

[Except the death bit - JY]

Terry: Christmas in Japan, another interesting title, what's that all about?

[If only I had said: "What the fu*k do you think it's about, Terry?" - JY]

Language, please!

About bloody time someone went into print over those wankers who clutter up airwaves yet have no qualifications in the topics they purport to be experts in. They do no reserach into their topics and, when interviewing guests, they don't even listen to the answers.
A waste of space - all of them.

Good to see John-Paul and
Paul-John discussing matters.
