Strangest interview of all time:
Tori Amos comes close. It was 20 minutes of mental gymnastics. She did promise me a margarita when she next came to Australia. That scares me.

Most nerve-wracking interview:
Interviewing the guys from Led Zeppelin was terrifying. Nerves can hit with any interview, but with that one I was nervous for a week leading up to it. It was a bizarre situation meeting people I was fascinated by since the age of 7.

Best interview:
The easiest interview was David Bowie. A half hour, candid conversation about whatever I wanted to ask him. No pretense, no ego.

Worst interview:
Primal Scream at the height of their drug taking in the mid-'90s. They could barely sit upright. I spent 40 minutes trying to get at least two minutes of useable material.

Worst moment on air:
Hearing Jeff Buckley was missing, presumed drowned. We contacted the police searching for him and they offered little hope after speaking to them on air. I then played "Last Goodbye". It was a hard shift to finish.

Favourite On Air Moment:
One of the best was during the Velvet Underground J Files. I wanted someone to teach me the chords to the simplest rock song ever - "Sweet Jane". Some guy rang up and we ran through the track live on air. I had my guitar with me, and he played his guitar down the phone line and we jammed on "Sweet Jane" until I got it right. That pretty much also answers the question of why I never ended up in a famous band.
