I just finished Mike's autobiography and in the acknowledgements section the fella who wrote the book, Larry Sloman, says this: Now, obviously, as the guy says in the quote, they were unable to find this Zuckerman and says the interviews haven't seen the light of day and you'd figure they'd have a better shot at it with all their connections, but I thought I'd just give it a shot and ask here whether anyone knows if per chance these interviews may be available anywhere online? So many times in various documentaries I've seen clips from various interviews with Cus, but was never able to find the whole thing and I always think that in this age where everything is online, someone out there must have these. For ex. there's this one other interview that was done by a guy called Alex Vallau and clips from that interview are always in documentaries about Mike, but I've never been able to find that interview, either. Its the one where Mike and Cus are sitting side by side and Cus at one point explains he wouldn't be alive if Mike didn't come along, because he gave him purpose.
newby j, et al: i have returned to the western hemisphere after many years (n several novels, poems, songs) in asia. b4 that, andalucia fer 5 years... so no wonder folks had trouble finding me... didn't wanna be found. alas, having resurfaced in south america for some new fiction, my venezuelan pal oscar (here in santiago) showed me this comment, after reading some of my cus material. methought twas high time(s) to respond. if anyone out there wants some clarification on this amazo mystery man, i may have some answers. am a dinosaur tho, no social media, minimal cyberia... only check email once or twice a week. cheers from chile, pz
Fantastic! Thanks for responding, Paul! Well, let me start with this: Where were those interviews that Larry Sloman references published, or broadcast, if they were TV/radio interviews? Do you happen to still have all those tapes, and would you be willing to put them online? I would absolutely love to listen to them.
