The Kennedy Assassination (1) Anthony Summers 1990 responds to Oliver Stone's movie JFK
As I say in the intro to this podcast, made March 22, 2025, the week of the Trump dump of JFK assassination papers that still didn't tell us conclusively who killed Kennedy, I have been fascinated by JFK and the murder of the man since I was a child. Hence, circa 1990, when I got to interview Anthony Summers, Oliver Stone, and later Sam Giancana, I was entranced by talking with them all. This is the first of a series of podcasts based on those interviews.

Ronan Keating 2002. "Why I broke up Boyzone. Louis Walsh told us it would all end in tears."
Boyzone No Matter What, the Sky documentary being screened globally, originated in The Joe Jackson Archive of 1,400 tapes of celebrity interviews. It uses my tapes and photographs, but there is far more material in my archive that was unused because of time restraints, such as this clip from a 2002 interview with Ronan Keating.

Kris Kristofferson on drink, drugs, Elvis, A Star Is Born. "The death scene saved my life."
I loved Kris Kristofferson's music since a girlfriend gave me his first LP. So you can imagine what a joy it was to meet and interview the man for the first of four times in 1993. We had a two-hour chat backstage at a Johnny Cash gig in Dublin. Check my website joejacksoninterviewer.com for articles
