The way she broke into Henry’s charming stubbornness so quickly is insanely impressive. You can tell that within all of his uncomfortableness, he genuinely respects her and she makes it very recognizable that she respects him. Very good interview, I wish it was much longer!
He died in 2001. Remarkable man. Helen Hanff's book/film '84 Charing Cross Road', is a lovely connection with Leo's fathers book shop. I visited the site several years ago, the blue plaque is now above a bin, on the wall of a McDonalds!
Every decade Henry a little bit lighter. In the 80s he had a scole on all the time, now in his 60s he's always smiling almost glowing. Gives us all hope.
It's a shame the recording has so much interference. I read Between Silk and Cyanide a few years ago. A brilliant book. Now that the 70yrs are up, did we get to know the British traitor who betrayed the Dutch underground ?
His book is one of my favorite reads of WWII. His efforts during his service with SOE made such a big difference in my opinion. Mr. Marks is on my list of the top 10 people from WWII that I wish I had a chance to meet and converse with.
I too thought he passed some years ago. I wish I had met him. The poem 'The Life that I have' is so beautiful' and will always be associated with the SOE agents.
I never realised Mr Marx was still alive , thought he passed years ago, have just found out he died March of this year 2022 , especially The Life I have .
Henry Rollins and Paula Yates were so different, yet still had some chemistry that made for an entertaining interview. Maybe a little more research from the writers would've made the interview more informative, but it still made for great television and let their personalities shine, even in an awkwardly funny way. The fact Henry Rollins could make it onto UK breakfast TV and a person like Paula could do her wonderful thing with the interviews - that's an age long gone, sadly.
He was probably uncomfortable because they'd appeared together on The Word and Henry farted audibly live on air. You'll have to ask your Mum and Dad to explain what The Word was....
Henry Rollins actually mentions this interview in his "Smile, You're Traveling" book. He wrote this when Michael Hutchence died (Paula Yates being his lover, of course) Henry doesn't seem to have any nice things to say about her and didn't like doing this interview: "I remember Paula Yates. I had to endure her when I was on a television show in England. At that point she was fucking the idiot from the Boomtown Rats. She was a mouthy moron. She is all broken up now that her about-to-be hubby hanged himself. They managed to breed before INXS man fell off. I feel sorry for the little girl. She'll have to deal with the fact that her father was a past it fuck up and that her mother is some stretched out groupie" Fucking Brutal lol
Henry looks like he is going to explode and hack her up into pieces, then takes over the show after he burns the bed and starts filming in a basement where he's sitting on a weight bench demanding that you get off your lazy ass and start doing some bench presses.
@@aeonoftimefly He talked about how he found the show kind of ridiculous and about how the main presenter (who I think was Chris Evans) was over-excitable. He ran around the stage doing an impression of him shouting, "Now we're gonna go over here! And now we're gonna go over here!"
He is obviously uncomfortable sitting on a bed with a strange female-and i don’t blame him. People lack boundaries sometimes. Not in so much a sexual way but in a violation of personal space way.
i have always hated these 90s informal talk shows where they try to be so quirky and cool. nobody cares about you or your gimmick we only want to see the guests
Ha ha ha, Henry's body language is hilarious. I've never seen him look so uncomfortable. It's become clearer to me over the years that he's on the spectrum.
