He appears to be very sober & clear eyed, I thought he got involved with heroin around this period, his wife at that time Rose, once gave Angie Bowie some heroin, thinking it was Cocaine, & she passed out on the pavement & almost cracked her skull open (I read her book)
maybe it was after this interview that Taylor got involved with heroin.

Very soft-spoken, but you could tell he was itching to do other musical projects at the time.
