[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 348028, member: 23"] Out of curiosity I just watched this 1981 interview and he doesn't come across well at all. He seems very disagreeable from the start, and it doesn't help that he introduces her with what she says is an inaccurate financial sum regarding her signing. But yes, to move directly from asking about disagreements in The Supremes to speaking about Florence's death as though the two are directly linked is shocking. It feels he has an agenda, and the conversation doesn't seem to flow because he's not interested in the pleasantries but in steering things towards his inflammatory questions. He comes across as quite cold. I was impressed with Diana's grace when faced with such an unpleasant interview. It's only thanks to her responses that it wasn't catastrophic, and I can't help wonder if that's what he would have liked. I'm sure Diana and Meg know that his conduct doesn't represent the country as a whole, but as a Brit, I can't help feeling a little embarrassed watching these inhospitable interviews. [/QUOTE]
