Nice little read. Some insights into working with MJ and KR.

So here's the Stones reference...

"I guess that progression from punk, to new wave, to rock n roll reached a sort of natural conclusion producing The Rolling Stones [Dirty Work, 1985].

I always say though, I produced the worst ever Rolling Stones album. Until the next one.

WHAT WAS THAT EXPERIENCE LIKE?
Well, it was great. But it was crazy. The magic had become more and more difficult to find. Mick and Keith were not talking to each other. Mick had just done his first solo album, which Mick called ‘that @#$%& disco album’. To Keith that was basically worse than being unfaithful."

No, you in fact did produce the worst one.

Loved the interview.

In particular the closer: "to even think that working with the Stones was anything but a privilege and a joy is ridiculous. This is a vocation for me. And the difference between a job and a vocation, is that you’re allowed to complain about a job. With a vocation, if you complain, you’ve lost the sense of wonder that makes it a vocation in the first place"

So true.

The worst one? He didn't produce Undercover did he?
