suburban.skies@gmail.com Bio'But I find myself worrying away at that stuff about pop music again, whether I like it because I'm unhappy, or whether I'm unhappy because I like it. It would help me to know whether this guy has ever taken it seriously, whether he has ever sat surrounded by thousands and thousands of songs about...about...(say it, man, say it)...well, about love. I would guess that he hasn't. I would also guess Douglas Hurd hasn't, and the guy at the Bank of England hasn't; nor has David Owen or Nicholas Witchell or Kate Adie or loads of other famous people that I should be able to name, probably, but can't, because they never played for Booker T and the MGs. These people look as though they wouldn't have had the time to listen to the first side of AL Green's Greatest Hits, let alone all his other stuff (ten albums on the HI label alone, although only nine of them were produced by Willie Mitchell); they're too busy fixing base rates and trying to bring peace to what was formerly Yugoslavia to listen to 'Sha La La (Make Me Happy)'.
So they might have the jump on my when if comes to accepted notions of seriousness (although as everyone knows, Al Green Explores Your Mind is as serious as life gets), but I ought to have the edge on them when it comes to matters of the heart. 'Kate' I should be able to say, 'it's all very well dashing off to war zones. But what are you going to do about the only thing that really matters? You know what I'm talking about, baby.' And then I could give her all the emotional advice I gleaned from the College of Musical Knowledge. It hasn't worked out like that, though. I don't know anything about Kate Adie's love life, but it can't be in a worse state than mine, can it? I've spent nearly thrity years listening to people singing about broken hearts, and has it helped me any? Has it fuck.
So maybe what I said before, about how listening to too many records messes your life up... maybe there's something in it after all.'
