DEF II: That Was Then... This Is Now

on BBC Two England

This week, the spotlight falls on Joe Jackson.
Born in Burton-on-Trent, he was raised and influenced by a variety of music, ranging from the theme music from the film Exodus to the Beatles and Beethoven.
From his days as the 'angry man of pop', Jackson has switched his musical styles at whim, experimenting with rock, jazz, reggae and classical music.

His success with songs like Is She Really Going Out With Him and It's Different For Girls brought him international success, but celebrity status is not something Joe found easy to deal with. In a revealing interview, Joe Jackson airs his criticisms of the rock and pop world, and talks about his personal aims and goals. The programme also features exciting performance footage of this multi-talented artist.
