One of the suckiest aspects of TV interviews of bands back in the day was that generic, old school 'personalities' got the gig. They neither knew nor cared about the music, and in Mike Walsh's case, spent more time having his wig sorted out than he did researching.
Mike had been a disc jockey back in the Beatles' early years so presumably had some affinity with music of that era, but he sure as hell was not interested in it after that. Some of his faux pas when introducing musical acts on TV were cringe making. He once introduced Kevin Johnson performing "Rock and Roll I Gave You All The Best Years Of My Life" as "Winter In America" (a Doug Ashdown song). During a live national simulcast of an Elton John concert on Channel 9 in the '80s he called Elton's latest album "Too Late For Zero". I'm sure there are lots of other examples.
There are a few things here that I think (hope) I misheard... 2:43 "M-E-T-H. That spells Australia!" ~Denny 3:05 "You're 22? That's older than my first wife!" ~Interviewer 6:02 "...you were doing it as a rehearsal for the Australian tour?" "Except we weren't naked!" ~Linda Anyone else hear something different?
When times were good , fun and innocent. When human beings liked and respected one another. No attempts at global governance back then. That one was defeated, and now?..
Yeah, at the time this was recorded, she was Denny Laine's girlfriend, JoJo LaPatrie. She later married Denny in 1978. Before Denny, she had dated Rod Stewart and had affairs with Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix.
she was living with me on el centro in h wood when she traveled with rOd and jim and keith! moon. she was like my sis, we kept in touch for yrs. god i miss her. oxoxx willy
Shame they all fell out with each other, Jimmy repeatedly throwing eggs at Paul's window...and worse was Laine selling and dissing Paul & Family to a gutter press paper...'The 'News Of The World'
Linda interrupts Paul's interviews with nonsensical stuff. She's way too old to be acting like that. I wanted to learn more history about the band here.
To@NxDoyle, Researching these days ment looking for things in Wikipedia? Those days it was more natural and information you had to get on the spot, asking it the person himself or you had to read one of the few magazines before and maybe use otherones writings. Some did call managers or recordcompanies if they wanted to say something but than you hear mostly the marketing stuff. It is completely another world rightnow. No records anymore and streaming not owning a disk with songs anymore has nothing to do with that period of time. Think you must be still young and do not realize the crazy loads of information you get these days. Not normal. Back then even the best informed journalists didnt know as much a child can find easy these days.
