    Although it's not known for sure I like to think Heath Ledger used this interview to pull inspiration for the Joker.

    While I love the music and persona he had going in in the 70's, I'm glad he sobered up. The man is an absolute genius but I can't imagine he would have put out the same music he has in the past...
