Sparks - Ron & Russell Mael Interview (Vh1 1996)

[TheKenfig]

Nice guys ; Ron is a legend and icon

[MrDacioss]

mysterious keyboard man....

[TheJimbarnes]

I wouldn't have said The Alabama thing if I had not read it on a double CD greatest hits. But Yes all Internet info refers to California.

[TheJimbarnes]

I think there from Alabama USA.

[BaddaBigBoom]

@TheJimbarnes THEY'RE (ahem) from Los Angeles.

[fatpizzaman]

@TheJimbarnes their debut single "Wonder Girl" went to No.1 in Montgomery in Alabama in 1972.

[TheJimbarnes]

@fatpizzaman Thanks for clearing that up. The old mind gets confused sometimes.

[ethandune1]

in a world of everyone compromising to meet commercial targets, Sparks prove you can be successful and intelligent. Long live Sparks!!!

[degree7]

I kept expecting Ron Mael to have a German accent, lol

[rishibawa]

@degree7 Me too! Or another heavy European accent of some sort haha

[ethandune1]

very topical given the Rupert Murdoch fiasco, especially with the media spying on the public and paying off police .. Sparks ahead of the curve as usual

[ISamuelII]

No part two??

[paolder]

shit i thought they were English

[RustiSwordz]

@paolder Apparently they love and is influenced by British music.

[jetbax13]

@paolder me too...thought they were British!

[KOLSARNIT]

awesome.

[DagenhamGilly]

Hey Mon looks like Jobo?

[aldiakaroofus]

Sparks is the best band in the world. If I could pick between meeting Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr or Ron and Russell Mael, I'd pick the two coolest brothers in the world!

[JoeStunner]

Ron's looking very smart - very dapper.

[ladyislingering]

3:28. How funny it is to hear Russell use slang. xD

[psirou]

Its clear that the interviewer is just asking generic questions after having read some sort of press release.

But its kinda sad (but in truth good) to hear the Maels admitting to having succumbed to the sirens of "selling out" in some way. :(

[JustLoveForMe]

I love listening to Ron talk :)

[Yogibimsdale]

Wow, not ony the Mael brothers but interviewed by Richard Jobson, very cool.

[popomatic1970]

OMG I want this song for my ringtone!!

[bartonim]

Sparks--one of the best groups ever!

[TheJester1962]

Very witty and intelligent brothers.

[EvilTim001]

HE SPEAKS!

[PAULLONDEN]

Wish he owned the BBC ( wich these days,stands for  Bozo's-Buttfuckers&Cooks)

That once brilliant channel is now almost unwatchable.

[AyebeeMk2]
