Fifty years on, he&#8217;s still telling those stories the way he always has, with honesty &#8211; straight and funny. Recorded live at The Cat Club on 26 March 2026, Jason Barnard talks with Parker about Nick Lowe producing Howlin&#8217; Wind , the ruined tape that forced a week-long rework of Stick to Me , and Bob Dylan telling him after a set that he loved &#8216;Don&#8217;t Ask Me Questions.&#8217; In this extensive interview, Parker also talks about breaking up the Rumour, the accidental reunion decades later, and being getting cast in Judd Apatow&#8217;s This Is 40 .
