Michael Head > Quotes

“He may not know rock history inside out – his favourite Byrds album is their greatest hits, and the other week he heard a great song on the radio and asked one of his bandmates what it was: “It’s the fucking Beatles, Mick” – but he understands that it’s not just his songs that make people loyal to him, it’s the mythology of tragedy. It might be ridiculous and sad that rock cherishes someone for their personal frailties, but it remains true. He says, at one point, with perfect frankness: “I think you’re here because of the past and because you’re intrigued about what’s going to happen in the future.”
