“The thing you have to ask yourself is— what’s rock’n’roll all about?
Going to see a million-selling band like Pulp or Oasis, a band your 64-year old dad, your 37-year old brother and your 14-year old cousin could go and see? My dad’s record collection is the same as most of my mates’ and that’s the truth. There’s no rebellion in music any more.
But if you’re fifteen years old and you buy a laptop and your mum doesn’t even know how to turn it on—man, that’s rock’n’roll!”
—Alan McGee, UNCUT magazine, vol.2 ish. 4
