Amazing slice of film history, the iconic Dennis Hopper and me talking about Dean

Cute memories of my homeland, from Mick Fleetwood. An excerpt from a much longer Irish Times interview

It's been nearly thirty years since I first interviewed Andrea Corr; I see they are back on tour. Here's a slice of Corr's history for their fans

This was a great moment for me. After Mike Love, a sometimes tediously arrogant person, said we Irish wouldn't understand something as intangible as Transcendental Meditation, I responded, 'You mean the race that gave the world James Joyce?" He didn't like the interview, but what the hell? I still love the music of The Beach Boys
