“This was a whole new world, this world of studying musicians,” says of his show ‘The Big Interview,’ which has featured everyone from Neil Young to Ice Cube
is starting its eighth season, and right from the start, the show featured pop musicians. How did that become the focus?
So that’s what happened. I thought I’d two or three interviews and say, “Mark, this isn’t my thing.” I had to start virtually from ground zero. But somewhat to my surprise, I found it a challenge and pretty interesting to get enough up to speed and carry on a decent interview.Yes, in the Texas of my youth, the Thirties and Forties, it was Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb, and Roy Acuff. I wasn’t exposed to other types of music until college.
Absolutely. Linda Ronstadt, for instance. I knew who she was and I had heard some of her music. But her life story is epic. One of my favorite moments in doing all these was when I asked Merle, “Why do you do this? Obviously you don’t need the money and you’ve had every accolade in the business. You’re out here on a rough tour. Why do you do it?” And he gave among the best answers in the whole series. He said, “Because I get lonely.” It was an honest answer and it stood out. I could certainly relate to it.I think that’s one of the most powerful pieces we’ve had.
