In 1996 Joe Jackson, a journalist from The Irish Times, sat down with Eamon Dunphy, at his request , and interviewed the Irish ex-footballer, sports commentator, and author of books such as The Unforgettable Fire: The Story of U2, for 11 hours over a two-day period. It was one of the longest interviews Jackson ever conducted and is still regarded by Dunphy as "definitive." At the time it created a media furore in Ireland, particularly in terms of dump his attacks on Irish broadcasting legends such as Gay Byrne, Gerry Ryan and Pat Kenny.
However inexplicably removed from the magazine in which the two-part article appeared was, for example, Dunphy's sometimes scathing commentary on U2, in terms of his experience with the band, before and after he wrote their official biography. That section has been restored for this, the first full, uncensored version of the legendary interview, which the author has based on his original typescript.
Also included is a follow-up interview in 2000, which address many of the claims made in the previous interview and the controversies it fired. The author has written a new backstory for all interviews, which tells of many nights he spent partying with Eamon Dunphy and the night clubs of Dublin, when the city was a cultural capital of the world, during the 1990s. "There are other versions of the 1996 interview available, " says Jackson, "but, as with that U2 anecdote, they are heavily edited and not at all representative of the once-in-a-lifetime experience I had with Eamon Dunphy, or the tale I tell for the first time in detail in this book." The book accompanies Jackson's new podcast series, The Joe Jackson Interviews Podcast in which one edition focused on the 1996 Eamon Dunphy interview.

Biographie de Joe Jackson

Joe Jackson, June 18th 2012, that pic of me is memory of a wonderful moment last Saturday, Bloomsday. Along with 110 other Irish writers I took part in a 28 hour reading session at the Irish Writer's Centre where we all attempted to break the Guinness Book of Records world record for public reading and did! I was thrilled. I'm probably best known as an interviewer who has published five books and had my articles included in newspapers and magazines all over the world, from The Irish Times - I was their music interviewer for a decade - to Playboy and Rolling Stone.
But I'm a writer! I decided at nine years old to become a journalist, when I saw a movie called Deadline Midnight, starring Jack Webb, that made journalism seem like a knightly quest. But when I was 20 my dad told me one night that he was abandoning his secret dream of "becoming a literary creator"and, in a knightly fashion, I picked up the gauntlet and decided to become both a journalist and literary creator.
What a stupid thing to do, right?But I can be stupid in ways, and after years of working on plays, poetry, memoir, and even giving readings of my own poetry, I moved into music journalism in 1985, with an Irish magazine that sadly now I'd rather not name. By 1988 The Irish Times was saying that magazine was "noted for its probing interviews conducted by" little old me. I loved interviewing right away, it helped me bring together my passion for literature, psychology, and even poetry, in ways.
Then I did a degree in Popular Culture and started to apply also a socio-political microscope to people I interviewed and it all became even more fun. I mean that seriously, folks. At the time, during the height of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, I was interviewing, or rather "grilling" terrorists, politicians, even a Taoiseach and two future presidents of Ireland. So, now, I've drawn back from interviewing and with my new series of self-published book, The Joe Jackson Interviews Plus, I am making available the original, unexpurgated typescripts, plus the Back Story of my experience with each interviewee, and drawing heavily on diaries I kept at the time.
I'm also exploring the option of making my more than 1, 000 interviews available as MP3's and/or CD's. Upcoming subjects for The Joe Jackson Interviews Plus series include, Bono, Tori Amos, Gerry Adams, Richard Harris, Elvis, Sam Phillips, Johnny Cash, The Chieftains, Bob Geldof, The Corrs and the...
