Biografía

I'd like to feel sorry for Chris De Burgh because I like to have controversial opinions, you know what I mean? Most people do, really, most people like to go out at dinner parties or the pub and say 'Aha, that's where you're wrong. Chris De Burgh is a fine man and an excellent singer and the course of pop music would be very different without him', but I can't.

Clearly Marillion can play. If only they wouldn't play so much of it.

[October 1990] Morrissey currently enjoys a critical standing roughly akin to a Saddam Hussein. Cat Stevens stands a better chance of getting a positive review than Moz these days.

[on working as a DJ] I have views on quality. If I see an Annie Lennox record in the playlist, my instant reaction is to play Kate Bush instead. Sometimes people write in and complain. They can't believe I've played a track from Sting's 'Dream of the Blue Turtles'. I don't like it, but whether you like it or not, that was a big album.

I do still buy records. As a DJ, you tend to get sent records you don't want.
