Just happened to catch Francis being interviewed on GMB this morning.
Interviewed by Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid. He seemed in good spirits, possibly as he knows that 'Backbone' is generally being well received. He's so excited and he just can't hide it?! He said that the album could go straight into the Top 5.
Piers asked him about Brexit as aware Francis can get political though apart from saying that he is a remainer, he seemed a bit reluctant to go too deep today. Anyway that line of questioning didn't go any further and Susanna pulled the interview back to the band and the album.
Piers also asked him what is his absolute favourite Quo song. Had expected perhaps Marguerita Time but no surprise really that he chose 'All We Really Wanna Do', as he has always rated that one, even though the public at large are probably unaware of it.

Rossi is a tory bloke and the day I found out I burnt all my quo CDs and posters and then became a monk and listened to donny Osmond..

I thought he came over very well. In fact, in the whole glut of recent interviews about the new album and the inevitable Rick questions, I have been impressed with his honesty and the way in which he has opened up whilst being very philosophical and reflective. And yeah, I half expected him to pick MT as his 'parting tune' and was glad he didn't.
Having read and enjoyed his autobiography and seen more interviews over the past month than I have in years, I feel that he has put right a few things for me, and that I am more of a Rossi 'fan' than I have been for some time. As someone going through my own career transition rather late in life, I have utmost respect for his resilience.

I don't think he means harm but god some of the things he comes out with are not good. He did an interview recently where he described Amy Winehouse as a "poor cow"

He did some great tracks during his solo tour that been on of them. He probably knew despite it been his favourite track it wouldn’t fit in to a Quo gig, simple really.

I wish he had included it in a Quo gig, would have taken it any time over that In the army now nonsense !

True, there were a few tracks he played at those gigs, that he could have tried in the Quo setlist.

Just ran across this interview on youtube and I have to say it's the first time I've heard Rossi where I believed him. It's a good interview, and very honest.
