The composer credit(s) on The Color Purple always gave me the impression he parceled out that score to half a dozen writers (due to time crunch and scale of the project). There is a lot of very fine, subtle scoring in that film. I’d love to know which parts he wrote himself. From his description, it sounds like the answer is, most of it.

... but why does he have to swear all the time I would have thought he was well educated and beyond all that nonsense ......I have interviewed many leading film composers past and present and not one ventured into such awful language...
Yes, I found that quite disconcerting.

Or maybe he is 85 years old and "zero fucks" to give.
You people should be ashamed of yourselves...calling him a drunk or saying he has dementia. What the hell is wrong with you guys? This site sickens me sometimes.

With all due respect, a decent vocabulary costs nothing.
And I found nothing wrong with his vocabulary. Perhaps a Mayberry version of the interview will be published one day.

I've yet to see a CD announcement from any label written in any other way than Mayberry-friendly.

It is indeed strange that in this age of so-called political correctness, it's apparently all right to pigeonhole someone as 'likely to suffer mental illness' because his mother did. Amazing. You could even call that 'mother@*%ing'.
('Which of course is a Freudian based Oedipal term, and very applicable in some circles.)
The language he uses is a persona he's adopting for an effect. One may not like this, but it isn't indicative of anything very much. The interview should be audio so that we can hear it ... it's probably done in a jokey Ali G style with lots of laughter.
The content of the speech is more important. He's making much the same sort of criticism of modern pop that WA was making! There's nothing 'drunk' about his points.

He admitted he had a drinking problem and has publically demonstrated it in the past.
He is a great musician and one of rare composers who is a public personality.
I think most here have great respect and affection for the guy even if the responses seem disrespect ful.

Np; THE DEADLY AFFAIR/THE PAWNBROKER
Check out "Death Scene" from PB. You could only get that from a composer with a thorough grounding in jazz AND classical music!

Yes, but read his last paragraph.

But we have to take this word at it. Now, I believe him, personally. But I've also known three alcoholics and two of those lied about drinking (among other things) again.
