I'll never forget him. Not just because of his music, but also because of an interview I did with him just after Global A Go-Go was released. That was the best interview I ever did and there was a real connection between us. I only had 30 minutes to do the interview and time just flew by. After about 25 minutes a record company promoter came in to tell us that we had 5 minutes left. Joe said to him: "I don't care if the next journalist has to wait, I'm having a good conversation here so it'll last as long as I want it to last."
That was the best compliment anybody has ever given me professionally. After the interview he hugged me and thanked me for the great talk we had. I was genuinely shocked when I heard he died...
I'll never forget that day and that interview.
