I’d never seen this interview, and found it smart, entertaining, and worth watching. It was refreshing to hear intelligent, thoughtful questions from the interviewer, who seemed to genuinely enjoy their company.

Simon has a red nose. Does it have blood vessel problems?

Wow! What a fantastic interview! Thanks for posting, Dew!
I agree it's much more in depth and insightful than most of those quickie sound bite press tour interviews. The hostess really knew her stuff and knew how to pretty much just have a good conversation. The guys were very relaxed and open as well. Loved it.

You're welcome. Glad you liked it! I really enjoy hearing about their creative process/approach and there was lots of that. The bit about how "Paper Gods" came about lyrically was particularly interesting (and funny how Simon admitted he was wrong). Starts around 09:20. Wow! What a fantastic interview!

The bit about how "Paper Gods" came about lyrically was particularly interesting (and funny how Simon admitted he was wrong). Starts around 09:20. Thanks for that! And agreed. The story was told in other places, sure, but I remember there being some debate here on whether the lyric was started before or after Simon came up with the melody. This clip answers that question nicely!
