I just could not believe that 30 years later we're still looking at people who are supposed to write little 2-minute pop that when they actually try to do something that's a little bit more they regard it as pretentious.

Turning something into low resolution data does seem to make it worth less in the modern world.

I want to age with some dignity.

A lot of my audience are in their 50s. But they want me to pretend to continue to be pretending.

Parade your pallor in iniquity.

But what was interesting about what the Who did is that we took things which were happening in the pop genre and represent them to people so that they see them in a new way. I think the best example is Andy Warhol's work, the image of Marilyn Monroe or the Campbell's soup can.

I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine café.
