I think the whole interview paints a gloriously patient picture of Jerry and his unfailing good humour in the face of a spiteful asshole trying to needle him. Other successful musicians would have had a hissy fit and walked out, which is likely what the writer wanted. Jerry just soaked it all up, which infuraites Morley all the more.

This month I'm going to be adding some longer interviews from later years. <br /><br />Paul Morley was a rock journalist for the NME, who championed punk & new wave music - fast, loud, angry, confrontational. He despised the Dead. And yet, when Garcia met this hostile interviewer during the Dead's brief trip to London, a pretty interesting conversation came out. <br />Morley later remembered: "There was always a big furor about the thing I did with Jerry Garcia. I interviewed him wearing a Human League t-shirt and went on about the Fire Engines and things, and somehow it was considered to be a great lack of respect for the man. But oddly enough, he actually really enjoyed the interview, and the whole thing was a lot of fun."<br /><br />The photographer was David Corio, who later wrote: "When the interview was published it was regarded as being very controversial as Jerry Garcia was a rock legend and he hadn’t been given the respect he deserved. NME’s editor at the time claimed the article lost the paper 10,000 readers. This was partly because Paul Morley was trying to inform Garcia about bands like The Fire Engines and Orange Juice and Morley was known as NME’s latest in a long line of enfant terrible writers... In reality they got on pretty well."<br />https://davidcorio.com/photos/241-jerry-garcia-london-uk-march-20-1981 Light Into Asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943335142002007213noreply@blogger.com
