Hi Solomon,
 I thought the interview was wonderfully fresh, friendly and so you. Your humor came across as natural and of course your wit cannot be overlooked. The interviewer asked the right questions, giving you an opportunity to speak candidly about your experiences, your music, your other interests such as giving back by doing freebies for causes that you care about...Someone said something about you taking deep breaths. I find that is your way of thinking about what you're going to say before you open your mouth and in doing so, you come across as authentic. I can't say enough about how great it was to hear you. Anyone listening would have been fully engaged. Interesting, funny, informative...honest and you didn't seem like you had a problem with his British accent.

Congratulations on your new album and upcoming tours. "You da' man!"

No worries - the interview was fine - I like the live recording on a train stop to stop now that the Blues :

i listened to it  and liked it...you calling him "sir"  makes it not irreverant

Hi Solomon!

Please go ahead and be just as "irreverent" as you may be, both before and after 11:00 o'clock - for me that is a part of the freedom of speech.  Hope all is well with you and that your music endeavors are successful.

Schlomo irreverent?? Never!

I enjoyed that!  I guess some parts could be described as "refreshingly,
old-school irreverent." ;)

It's hard to believe that your son is already old enough to be involved in
film.  I was trying to remember how long I've known you, what year we met
up in Austin.  I guess time marches on.  I also didn't realize that you
actually saw Phil Spector at the House of Blues that night!  Wow.  It
reminded me how I followed his trial.  What a brilliant character he
was/is.  I also enjoyed your film!  I didn't know that you hadn't acted
before.  I think you did the role justice -- no pun intended. ;)

o.k., my loving brother...
I listened intently twice and having done a number of telephone interviews this is my (who gives a shit what I think) take on what it felt like as a listener...first and foremost, phone interviews are the most difficult to have control in any way...in fact after one I did for a local writer here while I was still in l.a. I never did a phone interview again...radio has a certain technique necessary to make the audience not only interested but to be pulled to the voice and intrigued with the artist. I know you know all of this, i'm sure, but I am going to answer your question as though we are not the family that you and I are...
you jumped the rail right off the top by not being gracious, as I know you can be, and attempted humor with the 11:oo a.m. as too early for you line.  it made you seem a little immature and slightly condescending and not really appreciative that someone across the pond had been excited by your work and interested in who you, the man, are. because you were not totally awake at the wheel you could not drive the bus with the warmth that you possess and the deep breaths that you would take made it feel as if you were tolerating the whole thing rather than being engaged and grateful that you had this fan. not to belabor but you kicked a dog when it was down when you were offhanded about the motor city. it gave us you and the soundtrack to an entire generation. the Detroit myth is still alive and thriving across the world.
I wasn't turned off exactly but if I were sitting in my flat in st. james place or hampstead or in the west end I think I might think "you were a bit of a Wanker" and a typical Yank that felt entitled (that is where the brits go whenever they can).
 
I hope you will still love me and know that I am so proud of how you really found your way home to your art and are flourishing because of it.  I want the world to feel the best part of you and that is your soft underbelly...your true warmth...must admit that I felt a little chilly. reverent... irreverent...irrelevant...who cares?  from your older loving you sister i'd  rather feel your warmth than the rocker's cool.
I do love you,

Nice interview. I don't get "irreverent." You're relaxed and having fun, as is the interviewer. What else could one want? Perhaps a less uptight publicist?

xoxoxoxoxo

Sounds cool to me!
