never seen this interview before neither and I do search from time to time on youtube

interesting how Alice deals with these questions..Smart enough not to be pushed in a corner, but we didn't expect less from Alice

Thanks Steven, have never seen this interview before, but was lucky enough to meet Alice around this time, after he done an interview with Nicky Horne at Capital Radio, a great 15 minutes or so.

Steven..once again, thank you for taking the time to share all these great clips you do. More appreciated than you know..

Good interview, but what does "I Love BH" mean?

>>but what does "I Love BH" mean?

Benson and Hedges??

Thanks Gunner-My Mom used to smoke them back when and I remember that's what they were called. Snagged one from her purse when I was 13 (must have been the evil Alice influence

or just trying to be cool). After coughing my lungs to shreds after a couple of puffs, decided smoking was not for me.
Thanks again for the answer (to all of my questions!)

I think it means Bodily Harm, but I'm not sure.

Find it interesting Alice looks so well here in late 78 but by 1980 ish looked much worse- so health took a very steep decline after what seemed to be a very effective rehab...From the Inside fantastic album and very different musically to my ears...he also was not keen to go back to his former stage act at that stage...interesting..for me his intelligence and creativity shines through...would like to remember name of interviewer who I used to consider very effective back in late 70s and early 80s...good stuff

I was thinking this too, it certainly was a quick decent into 1980 Alice (2 years to be precise, but you know what I mean right?).

The one in the footage you mean? That was Denis Tuohy who was very good.

It was a lot sooner than that, but that's what happens when you have an unhealthy lifestyle (there's an interesting comment about this in "Behind The Music").

I always thought it was Beverley Hills ?

I think it was into the madhouse rock tour (1979) itself that Cooper was starting to look painfully think, drawn, pale and ill. But you are correct, up until 1978 Cooper looked pretty much as he always done - good!

That is possible but there is a criminal offence here called Grievous Bodily Harm, also known as G. B. H., so "Bodily Harm" might fit in more with Alice's sense of humour.

I thought I was going crazy for a second or the date on the interview was wrong due to how well he looked...
