Paradoxically, interviewing Joseph is a bit like the Alan Shearer non-interviews you see on telly, in as much as he gives absolutely nothing away that you don't already know. Perhaps when you're world-famous there isn't a single question that you haven't answered a million times before. Certainly all the answers sounded heartfelt but also felt a tad worn-out. Maybe we're too used to a soundbite world. Besides, when you've got such a sparkling and event-filled history, magnified by bucketloads of natural homespun charm and topped off by a breathtaking positivity, you probably don't need to worry too much about that.
Enormous respect is due.
