I'm reposting this because it will be part of a film I plan to make. I became an interviewer to meet my music heroes. Jerry Lee is one I wish I'd never met. 

This is one of my "Singles" podcats for fun! You'll have to listen to find out why I asked Cillian in 2004 if he wanted me to break his nose. Enjoy!

I am glad so many people, particularly here in Ireland, where Tommy does my style of interview on TV, listened to part one of this twenty-year-old interview. It may be the only in-depth interview the usually guarded Tommy Tiernan ever gave. Copyright: JJ! 

I'm reposting this becuase I am writing about my own near-death experience five years after Neil told me this story. Such experiences c an change a life. 

Someone said to me recently, 'I see that Tommy, on TV, tries to do the kind of interviews you've done all your life!" Maybe he does. Check this and see. 

Sedaka's claim in that headline will be disputed on all counts! But every since I was a kid I've admired the man and his music, from the early days of Oh Carol to 70s LPs such as The tra-La Days Are Over. It may not be hip to like Sedaka, but to hell with hip! We should all define hip for ourselves. 

This is a radio interview I did when Dino died. I always thought he was far. more cool than Sinatra. And he didn't lick up to the Mob! 

It's coming up to Bowie's birthday - same date as Elvis's - so I am reposting this little tribute I did to the man and his genius in 1997

It's coming up to what would have been Elvis's 89th birthday, and I still believe Bas Luhrman got him wrong and did the story of his spiritual quest a disservice. Here's an edited version of a radio show I made five years ago 

Happy Christmas to all my podcast listeners. Here's a repost of a bit of fun I had with Leiber and Stoller, two of rock's greatest songwriters who wrote for Elvis the Christmas classic Santa Claus is Back in Town
