That's how we used to watch it on MHz, back in the early 2000s, when the rules seemed more like "guidelines." So fun

I always liked how he got Cary Grant to be just creepy enough in Suspicion.

Almost 50 years ago, had a professor slip The Left Hand of Darkness into an otherwise bone-dry philosophy intro course. We loved it so much.

I remember! In the 70s, meeting a fellow Bowieite felt like finding long-lost family.

American-- it still has the price tag on it-- 65 cents. The store was on an American military base in Japan and a discount delight, apparently, as my father bought a roomful of excellent Japanese stereo equipment there

Thanks for the memory unlock. Suddenly it's 1967 and child-me is buying my first record, a 45 of Daydream Believer, in a Navy Exchange in Japan

I still have this set. I was 15 and had to look up a lot of words, but I loved it so much.

Outstanding interview! Important to document these brilliant musicians. I've always loved Red Sails (and the Monkees) and had no idea of the connection.

We're taught body shame early. It's how they control us. Six decades later, I still remember crying in shame as a five-year-old girl, the one time I was made to play outside with no shirt. I had no idea why, except that it was a girl-body thing.
