The opening to this interview I did with Lou explains all: www.neilgaiman.com/Cool_Stuff/I...
Did you ever read the pieces Lester Bangs wrote about interviewing him? Hilariously combative, to the point where it devolves into an insult-slinging competition in one case
Hey this is great! I like the lyric needing to stand alone bit.
Fantastic interview, Neil. Capricious doesn’t seem to quite cover who he was. You got one of the best interviews I’ve come across, probably because you were/are a genuine fan, intelligent conversation and knew your stuff. 😎
Did you deal with Seymour Stein or Howie Klein while organizing the interview? I'm so sad Seymour is gone, and I love them both so much. Without Howie, I'd be probably selling shoes in Pittsburgh.
There’s a point in the interview (about halfway in) where he addresses you by name in one of his replies and I realized he was going the distance on this one and stopped waiting for the comedic sudden end I’ve learned to expect of these.
I had never read this and I could not be more thrilled to read it now. Thank you so much for sharing it. Now I have to give Magic and Loss another spin.
I love that moment in battle when a warrior recognizes the soldier they’re about to fight is on their own side, downs their shield and exhales
Wow, that's a wonderful interview. He let you have his good side. :)
I am so happy my love @annibal.bsky.social sent me this interview. I always thought I was the only person alive listening to Metal Machine Music every now and then.
