Purple Lady, those are my thoughts exactly...and so incredibly endearing. I can't seem to get enough of these interviews (:)) Do men like this exist any longer? It seems that they went extinct here in Los Angeles / Hollywood.

I'm fascinated that Phil has similar personality and gestures to Keany Reeves. It's fun to find such things following family lines and not just cultural experience.

Awkward interview. But that was the fault of the interviewer (BA Robertson), not Phil Oakey. It's strange really how I thought back then that Phil was a bit egotistical, yet this interview shows that he was far from it. He's a lovely guy in fact. I also didn't really like Don't You Want Me at the time (I guess I was doing the teenage angst thing of liking them a bit less when they became famous), then found out later that Phil didn't rate the song much at the time either. ;)

As an American I'm confused about how serious verses humorous the interviewer was being when he said rude things to Phil. Phil seems so nice and he doesn't react or stand up to the guy and I don't understand why. Confusing interview to an American. lol

[@richardanderson8696]

He was just an awkward, terrible interviewer, and arrogant with it. There's a string of these awful interviews from him. BA Robertson. King twat.

[@knebworth1986]

Robertson had already written down his questions and thought he knew what the answers should be. So when Phil threw him a curve ball he started getting huffy and completely lost his way. A good interviewer should always listen to the answer and work with it. Phil handled this prat brilliantly. He kept his composure all the way through.

[@ajs41]

It was quite difficult for English people like me to follow as well. The interviewer BA Robertson was trying to be clever throughout the interview but he only succeeded in making himself look like an idiot. Phil Oakey refused to get angry with him, even though he was justified in getting angry with him, which made Phil look very cool/hip from an English point of view.

[@jr9249]
