I later had a conversation with Haggis about his experience with this “Interview” as he felt Robert ended up talking as much about himself as he did asking about Haggis and his life. In the end, both Haggis and I wondered if this might more accurately have been titled – Robert Nelson, in conversation with, Haggis McLeod.
