10 years old but still good
I guess no oneās interested in Dustin Dollinās living proof interviewā¦?
FTFY
Started it - the usual incoherent slurring - gave up.
The last thing I saw with him was this.
It was, as they say, a tragic. Even though I enjoy Living Proofās output I canāt bring myself to go in on the Dollin episode.
Interviewer on the Living Proof thing was way more offensive than Dustin.
I canāt stand him. Heās shit.
This was an enjoyable listen. Iām going to be lazy and just copy and paste the description. Itās worth a go even if you just stick it on in the background whilst doing something else.
āā Michele Lockwood is an artist, writer, photographer, clothing designer, mother, activist, and environmental scientist. She grew up in the boroughs of New York City and started sneaking out to hip-hop gigs, house music clubs, and punk shows while in high school. She hung out at the Brooklyn Banks in the late 1980s, and played the character āKimā in Larry Clarkās 1995 film Kids. The X-girl logo, designed by Mike Mills, was based on her face, which led her to becoming a clothing designer in Tokyo with her own brand, called Material. Lockwood has lived in Australia for the last 20-odd years with her partner, Andrew Kidman, on a rural property in the hills between Byron Bay and the Gold Coast. Recently, Lockwood has started working for a not-for-profit Indigenous organization that helps to build more resilient communities and ecosystems. In her spare time, she studies and publishes papers on a local endangered frog species.āā
I think the Living Proof show doesnāt really work with these older ālegendā guys who have done a million interviews in the past and donāt really give him all that much. His questions for these guests also are typically a bit more basic and he does let his fanboy side take sometimes.
I think heās really good with more up and comers and those closer in age to him. I do wish heād loosen up a bit though, try and have a bit more of a laugh with the guests.
I was really surprised at how bad the Living Proof magazine is for the price they are charging, based off the show I was expecting some pretty in depth long form interviews but they all just felt like awkward small talk
Dustin Dollin looks more and more like Dot Cotton in every interview he does.
I had to get my daily steps in so dug in for the 45min non-patreon pod version. Cliff notes:
- Totally unapologetic about being an alcoholic, not that he needs to apologise but he accepts it whole heartedly with zero regrets. Paraphrasing āshow me someone whoās filmed 18 minutes of gnarly tricks wasted. Iām the only one.ā
- Childhood sounded horrible
- Kicked out of US for 4 years during baker 2g era for visa issues
- People who do their job and know their place which justifies him throwing a sandwich in the face of a subway worker for not providing hot meatball sauce and pouring a drink over his ābest friendā for sitting in his seat.
I donāt mind the interviewers style but someone needs to tell him to stop interviewing the entire baker/emerica 2003 lineup.
I bought the 10foot one which was great but thatās because Stuart Hammond interviewed him.
I agree that the price tag is a bit much though
Yeah I got the same issue and agreed that was good. The Kyle Wilson and Kanin Garner āinterviewsā were just nothing though
What makes a good interview?
Was watching one of the Dollin interviews above and he has certain mannerisms that remind me of a man I know in his early 70s thatās had a debilitating case of Parkinsonās for half his life
Hot Wings!
Answers more than a sentence and questions that allow more than a sentence responses
Yeah but seriously, what do you mean? Iām interested to hear what you think makes an interview good. I like to hear about non skate stuff. I like to get an insight into a skaterās day to day life even what time and they wake up and stuff like that. I dunno why but I have always enjoyed hearing those sort of boring details.
