New to me as well. Thanks Briggy. I wonder if any footage of their set exists other than Police On My Back.

Shame Joe wasn't there instead of Kosmo.

[Heston]

Thinking about it, that's probably the longest interview I've seen with Simonon.

Definitely the most I've heard kosmo speak, pretty interesting. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Briggy that was great.
Interesting Kosmos comment about the amount of Sandinista recordings that haven’t seen the light of day????

[Low Down Low]

That's what frustrates me about these interviews, they say something interesting about other material or something and the interviewer never says, oh really, tell us more about that?!

So many journalists have never learnt the art of the follow up question.

Too busy reading their next question off the sheet instead of listening to the answer.

I'd guess that's true, probably a bit of an art form when it comes down to it.

Ah yes, "When will we finally get to hear 'Blonde Rock and Roll'?"

Thinking about it, that's probably the longest interview I've seen with Simonon.

Certainly a lot better than that one from 76 or 77 where his answers are just their song titles.
"What are your songs about?"
"Career opportunities, white riot."

Is there any other band who has someone like Kosmo pushed into the limelight as if he were a band member? Remember, he wasn't even their manager. Mick may have been in bed but why no Joe or Terry instead?

I guess he was a spokesman but yeah who else has some lackey doing interviews?
