This interview is really good, even if the ABC/Pat Roberston guy might as well be Robert Krulwich's idiot cousin; I'm not surprised I've never seen it before since the ABC venture which produced it is no longer extant. What we learn from this interview is that Dinosaur Jr. only exists because Lou Barlow is some kind of saint. We also learn that J Mascis is a fuck of lot bigger of a dickwad than should be humanly possible--no wonder Thurston Moore loved the guy so much. If Lou can't talk to the guy after almost 30 years because he is so prickly, J is either a mental defective or purposely being the biggest asshole he knows how to be. The band is J's; he gets paid more and is almost impossible to work with., but the other two guys put up with it--I guess because the don't have a choice. The big question is whether Mascis is smart enough to realize that without Lou and Murph, he's pretty much nothing--and more importantly, nobody except Thurston would really care.
