...All Ive ever done is tell the truth, says Jones, seated on a couch in his palatial Bel Air home, and about to dish some outrageous gossip. Ive got nothing to be scared of, man....
...You just mentioned the Clintons, who are friends of yours. Why is there still such visceral dislike of them? What are other people not seeing in Hillary, for example, that you see?
Its because theres a side of her when you keep secrets, they backfire.
Like what secrets?
This is something else I shouldnt be talking about.
You sure seem to know a lot.
I know too much, man...
...But what about the alleged behavior of a friend of yours like Bill Cosby? Is it hard to square what hes been accused of with the person you know?
It was all of them. Brett Ratner. [Harvey] Weinstein...
What about Cosby, though?
What about it?
Were the allegations a surprise to you?
We cant talk about this in public, man...
...Is there innovation happening in modern pop music?
Hell no. Its just loops, beats, rhymes and hooks. What is there for me to learn from that? There aint no f***ing songs...
...What would account for the songs being less good than they used to be?
The mentality of the people making the music. Producers now are ignoring all the musical principles of the previous generations. Its a joke. Thats not the way it works: Youre supposed to use everything from the past...
Well, whos doing good work?
Bruno Mars. Chance the Rapper. Kendrick Lamar. I like where Kendricks mind is. Hes grounded. Chance, too. And the Ed Sheeran record is great. Sam Smith hes so open about being gay. I love it. Mark Ronson is someone who knows how to produce...

I wish he asked him about the essay he wrote after the death of Fats Navarro. He ravaged pop music. How did he then go from jazz to pop music?
Well it’s obvious that Nastasia Kinski didn’t marry him for his brains or looks. It helps to have a Bel Air mansion.
And beyond that, delusional! He said on another site that he had dated Ivanka Trump, and how much he disliked her father who he referred to as his "pal".
Although they had a daughter together, they were never married.
Jones was married to that MOD Squad chick too. Quincy Jones nailed classier dames than Hefner could ever hope to. The #Metoo thing has a double meaning with these “liberated” women.
He makes that claim in this interview.
He also claims that Matlon Brando had sex with Richard Pryor.
Old people say the craziest things.
There was a time when decent people would be shamed and scandalized to have an elderly grandpa speaking in this manner.
That time has passed, sadly. Sorry the younger ones will dwell in such filth. And grateful to have lived in that time.
