Raw and Un-Cut:

Jon Bon Jovi - 1987

Interviewed by: Louise Palanker and a gaggle of love-giddy interns

I must have let every female staffer in because the result is a fairly disjointed interview that probably left Mr. Bon Jovi very eager to excuse himself. (time-15:29)

Raw and Un-Cut:

Journey - 1986

Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon

Interviewed by: Louise Palanker, Tony Hudson and Sharon Steiner

We travelled by plane, train, trolley, subway and taxi to find these three Journey Men in an unmarked factory warehouse, rehearsing for a tour. Enjoy this. They are fun and loud. (time-46:23)

This is one of my favorites. Raw and Un-Cut:

Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz-1989

Interviewed by: Louise Palanker

I had the chance to spend a day on the set of Saturday Night Live where this interview took place with two very funny men. Three, if you count the cameo appearance by Kevin Nealon.

Raw and Un-Cut. Chicago:

Chicago - 1986

Jason Scheff, Walt Parazaider, Jimmy Pankow

Interviewed by: Louise Palanker and Sharon Steiner

Chicago is production assistant, Sharon Steiner’s favorite band so she was very interested in how “new guy” Jason Scheff was fitting in. As this interview and history shows us, he fits in just fine. (time-15:58)

Raw and un-cut with Bob Hope. This one is pretty delicious. Here’s the descrip:

Bob Hope - 1994

Interviewed by: Louise Palanker

In this interview, you can actually hear me turning red as Bob answers questions I have not asked regarding an NBC “clips” special.

Also, Bob randomly sings “When You’re Smiling.” When I listen, I smile. (time-11:38)

Raw, Un-Cut Interview fun-ness. And, this is one of my favorites.

Bill Murray - 1988

Interviewed by: Louise Palanker

“Scrooged” is the main topic as Bill peels and eats an apple, walks around the room and celebrates his brothers, busses that accommodate the handicapped and night blooming jasmine. The guy is pure cool. Enjoy. (18:38)

Raw and Uncut Interview Archive

Bill Cosby - 1990

Interviewed by: Louise Palanker

Is “Ghost Dad” a great movie? Let Bill decide. Also why your kids should go to college if they don’t want to end up working in the pudding factory. (time-23:59)

More Bee Gees. This was a phoner recorded in their Miami studio at their end. Here is the description:

Maurice Gibb, followed by Barry Gibb - 1988

Interviewed by: Tony Hudson & Louise Palanker

Maurice and Barry both express their frustration with American radio.

Maurice talks about his brothers, his kids and trousers that leave nothing to the imagination.

Barry delves into his music, movie soundtracks, his family and inventive uses of toilet paper. (time-52:50)

The Bee Gees rule. That is my biased opinion.

Bee Gees - 1993

Interviewed by: Barry Krutchik & Louise Palanker

raw and uncut

Barry, Robin and Maurice discuss their album, “Size Isn’t Everything,” writing, creativity, love, lust, matadors, bulls, etc. (time-36:21)

Beach Boys’ Mike Love - 1989

Interviewed by: Louise Palanker

Mike was in a prone position throughout this interview. He talked. I listened, nodded and asked him, “how does that make you feel?” The session brought to the surface intense feelings of rivalry between Mike and his sworn enemy Mick Jagger. It was very cleansing. (time-8:51)  raw and uncut
