Arsy Bands - The Interviewer's Nightmare?

I posted a truly uncomfortable interview from 1993 with  the Las a couple of days ago, when the hapless bimbette interviewing Messr's Mavers and Power, proceeded to dig herself deeper and deeper into a hole and then when the going got so uncomfortable even she must have registered that perhaps things were not going to plan then proceeded to throw earth over herself so that her guests could tamp the whole lot down with their heels.

In truth there is a certain fascination watching habitues of the world of rock music play to type, the fascination of watching a train wreck in slow motion.

Awwww...

Bless.
