Yes, it seemed odd to me. Like you, I think it would have been at their request, and while I don't know exactly when it took place, given Meat was booked originally for surgery in early January I have to think it would have been before Christmas, which was a time when Meat had a movie he was hoping to work on in July and other plans for the autumn. I too wonder what was omitted to suit the story the interviewer in my view decided as soon as he saw Meat's situation .. and even given that, there was no sense of him using the opportunity to solicit Meat's feelings looking back; probably because Meat didn't see himself that way, even if he was despondent at not being able to sing while his back was causing him such pain.

I'm sure there are fans who enjoyed this interview, just as I am sure there are those who like me, and I think you too, who found it superficial, lazy and not doing a man who had been gracious enough to agree to go through with it any justice.
