The part when Keith was talking about the death of Tara was very moving. You could feel the emotion in his voice.

But but but unless I totally misunderstood, what Keith said was that he knows he *should* say that,
but that if he said that it would be a lie. The newspaper got it backwards, unless I did. Please advise! :E

I think this programme is always recorded and always very good.
A very short trailer here.

With sssoul you are absolutely correct in your interpretation of what Keith said about drugs.
He clearly said he "should" say there was no correlation but that "this was a lie", pretty obvious to me what he meant.
I didn't mean to insinuate that Keith was lying, just that the Daily Mail article was a lie.
Wouldn't be the first time they got it wrong.
... As much as I was also moved by Keith's answer to the question about Tara,
I thought it was in pretty bad taste to bring it up. I mean wtf?!

If you seriously need an answer to this question Olly I'm a bit worried about you. But to be nice I'll spell it out for you.
This is a show and a celebration of the music that still moves Keith, to ask him about probably the most painful incident in his life, the loss of a child no less, not only has nothing to do with the spirit of the show but it obviously is in bad taste and a cheap shot to create an emotional moment. It obviously made Keith sad to relate and remember the story and I find it very distasteful to bring up such a very personal and tragic event in the course of a very public and completely unrelated interview. Common courtesy dictates a kinder and more thoughtful interaction to this distinguished guest. The lady had obviously read the story in Life, not sure what her intentions were but it was clearly disrespectful, imo. Keith handled it well but the risk of him breaking down was certainly inherent, how would you have felt then? I would have felt terrible. It was hard enough hearing the pain in his voice. Friggin' tabloid mentality from a arguably well respected institution like Desert Island Disks? That woman lost some respect from me and absolutely guaranteed she will never get a similar interview from Mick. It is analogous to asking Mick about L'Wren's tragic death.

I would imagine that interviews for Desert Island Dics are not done cold.
There was probably a pre-interview with a researcher and the topics to be covered, as well as the music being chosen, would have been agreed in advance.

Seems like another unsubstantiated moral judgement to me, Naturalust, although I can appreciate that you are used to a very different style of journalism.

Keith would know exactly what questions would be asked by Kirsty, and nothing would be unexpected about it before.
Everything went to plan I'm sure.

Perhaps you're right but it's hard for me to imagine Keith would be pleased about bringing up such events. Just because he chose to answer and possibly accept such a question doesn't make me any more comfortable about it. In any case it seemed that last question about narrowing it down to one disc caught him off guard so perhaps it wasn't as tightly choreographed as some believe. Perhaps she just outlined the format, said she would ask him some questions about his life and career mixed with the stock questions about the discs. Who knows?
In any case Keith handled himself wonderfully and it was nice to hear him talk. Thanks for posting the link crawdaddy.
