FOR FOXX SAKE…from email files 6/8/06…a blog, like a colt 45, can get you into trouble but caint get you out

After waiting an hour past time being kept on the line for 30 of them.
I had 5 minutes talking to the great man before Jamie Foxx decided to
terminate the interview. Apparently he found a question about his
daughter a little too “cute” and said that it was likely to get me
“caught up, do you hear me, do you know what I’m talking about? “. I
presume this was some sort of threat of physical violence. Its all on
tape.
What he didn’t like being asked was  if Miami Vice was a film which he
would take his daughter to see.
Its an R rated movie.
 Does this mean that his daughter will never be able to see it?
 I have no idea.
Perhaps he was looking for an excuse to end the interview…because he
sure as hell hadn’t wanted iot to start in the first place. A rude and
ignorant man, after me waiting an hour. Unpredictable? Rude and hot
headed more like….

DYLAN

Still cant forgive Geldof for the unspeakable slur in an Uncut Anniversary of Something or Other issue.

Aged Bob is THE marvel.
Our best - better than Lennon or Presley ever got a chance to be (Chuck, mind you, has written as equally a good autobiography - though nowhere near as appreciated).
Taking control of the production is a key factor.
In the 80s and some of 90s the search was on, almost lost at times (Arthur Baker, Petty, The Dead, Til he rmembered JB’s Open The Door - And I’ll Get It Myself).
The focus, the containing its own worldness, of Modern Times is a constant surprise, pleasure…and inspiration.
