haha I love that interview, completely fumbles and shuts down and becomes as vague as possible with answers. Answers a question of asking for a lead singer bonus with jumping into something about studios being booked and budget issues which make no sense and dont connect with his lack of explanation. Then when the interviewer asks for more clarification we get defensive Ed "I just told you". Oh dear. Its all a mischaracterisation!
"You never asked for extra money?" "No no ........ just to cover budgets" So, what he means is yes, just to cover budgets. I think the explanation came out that it was to help cover studio fees for his solo album (which, wasn't even happening at the time right?). I love how that somehow makes it ok "I wasn't using the money to buy a car, I was using it to cover studio costs so I could make more money out of that venture!"

And the end zinger "I've never done anything dishonest ...... now can we just move on as quickly as possible from this because all this talk of how honest I am is making me extremely uncomfortable, because clearly this is how someone with a clear conscious acts".

That clip is always like a car wreck, you see it poster, you have to watch it, you don't want to, but you can't look away. And then you remember, this is the man that sang on Mental Jewelry. Sigh.
