It's strange in rock 'n roll, that there's been an abandonment of humour, when it's the bedrock of the music.
The problem is, now, if you're idiosyncratic, you're considered to be kitsch. There's also this kind of awful Mojo reverence for the past. You see nineteen-year-old kids churning out music that sounds like the worst Byrds album. I just don't understand why they'd want to do that. What rock 'n roll represents is pathetic conformity ... which should be burned down! Style isn't about shoes ... To me, a group like the Jesus and Mary Chain is boring. They just took a look at the Velvet Underground. It's like reconstructing the Last Supper, they've just placed themselves around the table!
