Jim – speaking as one of the sycophants to whom you refer I cannot believe that you of all people should have fallen for this so called interview which is clearly a hoax, a satire or a piss take at best. It was outed as such in The Guardian in the last couple of weeks and brought into question on this very forum back in 2013. The source of the interview is not given but "Rolling Stone" seems to be quoted; but try Googling that and you'll only find reference to a 2012 interview which, while being pretty feisty, does not contain any of the quotes emanating from the diatribe that you publish.
Which book is he supposed to be promoting - "Chronicles" was published in 2004 and there has been nothing since. Does that alone not cause us to smell a rat?
How about outing Jack Speedwell who you quote in both of these threads?
