Les Paul’s Last Rolling Stone Interview

August 16, 2009

Guitar legend Les Paul passed away Thursday at the age of 94 from complications of pneumonia.

In his honor, Rolling Stone has published audio excerpts from his last interview with the magazine, nine months ago.

“I think it’s therapy,” Paul says in the clip. “I think that it’s the love of the instrument and the fact that rather than to grow old watching TV, or just layin’ around the house trying to get from the bedroom to the bathroom, that it’s better to be amongst your friends, make new friends, and to play with a younger generation of people.”
