What an interesting character, legend.

Is it just me or the first seconds of the song are taken from OMD's "Dazzle Ships Parts II, III and VII"?

Proof that a class act like Joe could deal with toffs like this host. The BBC still hires these douche canoes based on what school they attended. We need Joe now more than ever. He’s missed!

So hes talked to about Dune normally in 1985 and later he started to hate it?

You can see in the interviewer’s quips and interruptions how the media was moving away from the slower paced and intelligent and respectful format that encouraged and rewarded critical thinking, towards the over-stylised and integrity-lacking trash we are consuming today that cares more about personality politics, caters for the dwindling attention-spans and encourages uninformed or ill informed personal opinion. Intelligent debates have been replaced with childish squabbling and petty insults that pause whenever there’s an opportunity for virtue signalling. This is one of the few moments where wanting to return to days of old feels justified. In my opinion we’d do well to revive the likes of Dick Cavett

Joe Strummer ruled this interview!! 😂😂❤❤🎉🎉

Thank you for uploading - this is glorious

What is John doing .. he looks ridiculous typical late 80’s “look” & that wig .. 🤦‍♂️ be yourself.

Both people I really enjoyed. RIP Magenta ❤ John was always an interesting interviewee.

Whoever is sat next to her at any interview is always transfixed. She always makes sure to acknowledge them. The epitome of beauty and elegance.

He is fairly good in "mystery train"..(the Jm Jarmusch flick).

"Can't scratch a CD"?....greatest bit of bs marketing ever..

There’s so much to love about this song that it’s impossible to unpack it all - but one thing that stands out to me is the brilliant use of the harmonica here!

Jenny was absolutely brilliant and stunning in the Australian classic movie Walkabout she was sensational.

Graduated high school, went to UT Austin and hoped to bump into this guy❤

Thank you for this…it was good to see an excerpt from my Daddy in his prime. 🥲Peace go with you ✌🏾🫶🏾

Gil in 1985 wow just so cool and hip

I’ve never understood why Honey at the Core wasn’t a top 5 record, still stands up today as good as it was 40+ years ago. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😀👏👏👏

God is watching us.

Shocked to read that Johnny Rotten has 2 'A-Levels'. How did he ever fit those in !?!?!

That’s nice

At 60 myself now, I will always credit this guy for two things 1. It being ok for a bloke to cook 2. It being ok to live too Love the man

Saw them three times ….first 1979…..great band.

I loved this side of jonny, no aragance, just a funny genius of a man,,

This is Camden Underworld in London I think. I was there somewhere. ❤

I remember this at the time. What a crock of shit!

Beautiful song and unlike so many pop songs unspoiled by a lytuc or few.

Awesome 💗

The 80's weren't defined 24 7 they were defined in snippets of realizations that were created in the environment you were in at the moment you perceived a song that was playing in the background or in your minds ear.

I think some of these so called stars just wanna escape the humdrum of working life.

Such an underated band, saw them open for Love And Rockets at The Hollywood Palladium, they were fantastic, we left about half way through Love And Rockets.

Britain 🇬🇧👍was Great back then Thx Keith 🥂 Cheers

beautifully perfect

A Spinal Tap compilation would be Volume 11 cos thats how high it goes!

Very interesting guy❤

I FUCKING FOUND IT, Kanye sampled this and then the song disappeared off the internet god damn this clip was hard to find

Incredible quality for ‘87, and 12 years ago on KZfaq too!

კაი ერთი

When I first heard Nanci singing Julie Golds song it was a bolt from the one of my favourite songs. Best version ever. Please play it at my wake RIP Nanci

My age

I worked at The Red Lion Inn 1993-1994 and the Ferry Boat Inn 1994-1995 in Dittisham, which is a couple of villages along the Dart from Tuckenhay where his pub was. When I was at the Red Lion I heard so many stories from the locals moaning about him. The favourite seemed to be him charging for Heinz Beans on Toast (£5.99 or something - a bargain now!). People forget that 'Floyds Inn.. Sometimes' (the Maltsters Arms) was really the beginning of the gastro pub, and people now think nothing of paying waaaay over the odds for simple food. The woman I dated most of my time in South Devon went down to the pub once with a load of friends and local woman dressed as vikings to complain his comments about him!!!! I went down there in my first few weeks and introduced myself - Shaunagh's mother worked behind the bar (and a fine woman she was) and introduced me to Keith. He really was a pioneer, in everything he did, but goodness as with most true renegades, his life was a (self confessed) mess. I never missed his show - the Stranglers music, the bon vivant, the raffishness, and the food that always turned out seemingly wonderful. A fascinating man who i doubt ever asked for any pity.

I saw these a couple of times in the 90s, Patrick Duff was a great frontman. Never understood why they needed 3 guitar players though, they could've shifted one of them to the drums and then their dad could've had a rest.

Going from 2 1/2 minutes to 5 minutes is still premature ejaculation. 😆

I remember watching this live. I remember most of it, but not the Bubblemen. (It was Bauhaus, great song). Where did the time go? I was a happy confused teenager, now I'm a dying old man. 😅😅😅

John is a knob. He thinks he has great talent , he has very little talent. He focuses ironically on knocking other people all the time in his career. Take a look in the mirror pal!
