This is a great special, although the sound gets way out of sync (as tends to happen when PAL videos are played back on NTSC equipment) -

The most serious I've ever seen Little Richard in interview: And the pitchy-est I've ever heard him sing! (It's still probably the best version of that song I've heard.) That is a good interview, though. Richard is bullshitting as much as ever, but David is asking some unexpectedly good questions, not interrupting too much, and pushing him where he ought to.

I've been thinking about how we had these absolute GIANTS of Hollywood in the 30s and 40s (Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy) and then in the 50s, 60s and 70s we had these GIANTS of rock music (Elvis, Lennon, Dylan) and there really hasn't been any new form that's come along in the last five decades that has brought us a new kind of thrill with a new bunch of talents that excel at it.
It's kind of a half-baked idea, I know...

It’s not
When something is the Greatest thing in da world you get great stars and characters
In the earlier part of the century it was being a movie star then it became being a rock n roll star then.....
Orson Welles said summat similar in regards to movie stars like Garbo etc

I don't know. I think movies got pretty great in the seventies. there were some good arcade games in the eighties. manscaping became something of an art in the nineties.

They did but the stars got smaller.

I don’t know. I mean, if you want ICONS we’ve got Dave G.
Maybe this generation just has celebs for icons- Kim Kardashian being a good example.
In years gone by, stars would be beautiful or handsome, and feted for their looks. Now, we’ve got Ed Sheeran. He’s (I suppose) talented, and is one of the world’s biggest selling stars, and he’s there on some sort of earned merit. Which should be a good thing, shouldn’t it?
My last two paragraphs contradict themselves. Symptomatic of the hate and disgust I have for this scum.
Ignore me.

Ed Sheeran appeals to dimwits and arseholes who for some unfathomable reason want their “pop stars” to resemble a Weatherspoons barman
No wonder the world is fucked
