"You should have asked him more about sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll." That's what an editor told me when I delivered to a magazine my first interview, with, as it transpired, Leonard Cohen the music hero of mine who then inspired me to become an interviewer because of that interview. And, frankly, I thought the comment made by that editor was tacky. That said, over the following thirty years when I did interviews with more than 1,4000 celebrities, the subjects of sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll arose so often that I now have decided to make a series of podcasts, each one on each of those subjects separately. In this, the first, I discuss sex with Dory Previn, Leslie Dowdall, lead singer of the band In Tua Nua, and with Boy George. All interviews are from the start of my career.
