The completed interviews make up Rupert Noble's film Vox 'n' Roll and we are grateful for Rupert and Jay's kind permission to use this edited version of their film.

In the film Cathi reads from The Not Knowing and answers the following questions.

1. Literature or rock 'n' roll - which got you first?
2. Can a reading match a rock performance?
3. Do rock fans read?
4. What is a "rock 'n' roll writer"?
5. Worst example of a band or singer with literary aspirations?
