How not to do an interview

This is just brilliant. A warning to any budding or indeed established Jeremy Paxmans out there.
There’s lot’s going on in this video. It’s obvious the interviewer doesn’t know his subject and the way he hands the mic to Heny Rollins is supplication of an extreme nature (before you criticise just ask yourself what you would say to a sweaty aggressive post-gig Rollins). But what I think I find most disturbing is the way at the 1 minute mark Rollins starts to tidy the novice interviewer’s shirt and pick fluff of this collar. . . very, very creepy. The burp at the end is timing of a quite brilliant nature.
