Sharon Osborn show

A short, live clip of Steppin' Out was played:

Sharon : Steppin' Out, one of the first, real hits on MTV.
Joe : Yeah, I suppose it was.
S : Yes, really, really huge hit. Alright, MTV what do you think of it today? It changed a lot.
J : I don't watch it.
S : You don't watch it at all?
J : I rule that out of my life completely. (Sharon laughs)
S : Lucky you! (Sharon moves closer, then moves back.)So what do you think of all the popstars then?
J : I don't know. It depends on who you're talking about. I don't like to generalize anyone really.
(Sharon taps Joe's leg with her shoe.)
S : Come on.
J : I don't know.
S : Come on.
J : What do you mean by popstars anyway?
S : If you don't watch MTV...then you don't...I'm talking about MTV stars of today.
J : I'm not interested.
S : No?
J : No
S : Not at all.
J : No, not particularly.(smiles)
S : What do you listen to? Come on.
J : I listen to all kinds of things. I have very ecletic taste. But ah, I mean, a lot sort of mainstream pop, is not very interesting to me.
S : You live in England, right?
J : I'm still bouncing around between England and New York.
S : Don't you find that English music is so (fluff? floss?)It just doesn't last. All the kids that come up, they have an instant #1, then boom, they're gone. You never hear from them again.
J : Yeah, there's a lot of that.
S : Very disposable.
J : There always has been. There seems to be more of that. I don't know.
This is where I messed up and lost a few seconds...
S : So what was it like reuniting with the band, after 20 yrs.?
J : It was really great fun. It was great fun. It was something no one ever thought would happen. Especially me. I never imagined it would happen. I was always interested in going forward. And ah...an album, which we did last year, called Volume 4, we are really pleased with. We had a great time touring, and it was just a one-off. We are not going to keep...
S : Going back?
J : ...just flogging it to death, for years and years to come. That's what makes it special. One album, one tour or be a very long tour. And ah, that's it.
S : And then you move on?
J : Yeah
S : This year, you've got a big birthday! (Joe laughs)
S : Come on!
J : Yeah, yeah, the big 30.
S : Yeah, right, it's great though. I loved it. I loved being 50.
J : You're 50 too?
S : Turning 50.
J : When you look as good as we do, there's nothing to worry about really.(Both laugh)It just gets better(twice),with age. Like a fine...cheese.
Sh: Are you going to have a big party?
J : I'm planning to have a party, for at least a week.
S : That's the way to do it! Definitely! Don't you think that's a great accomplishment, to turn 50?
J : To still be alive?
S : Yeah.
J : Yeah, for some people, more than others.
S : I do, especially in our industry. I think it's brilliant.
J : I feel great. I don't feel different than I felt ten years ago, fifteen years ago. Really.
S : I do. I feel better.(Joe takes lint or hair off of his sleeve.)Definitely feel better. Alright, I want to thank you, Joe, for being here with us today, and good luck with everything.
J : Cheers.
S : And Joe Jackson's Afterlife in stores. Go get it. It's
