A beyond-her-prime brunette, bosoms threatening to escape her neon-green top, pushes forward an old photo of the shirtless band. "I think you should sign it over your nipples, John," she says breathily.


SURELY this is journalistic licence... mothers throwing their nipples at JT? it's gotta be pure fiction :o

"When I think back on it, I was so selfish," says John. "He was my mate! I should've been round his house, supporting him.


well, we all grow up and i guess hindsight is 20/20... i do like JT in his later age. he's a very interesting person these days, more rounded, more thoughtful, more intellectual.

wow... i didn't know that, or had forgotten... and isn't it interesting that EMI STILL LIKE TO MAKE LOTS AND LOTS MONEY OFF THEM and treat us like dumb smucks >: >:

i'm sure I read in an old Andy interview a few months ago (might have been The Face 1985. Will check) where he swore he would never be one of those old rock and rollers who moved to an exotic island offshore for any reason, that he was going to live in England all his life... :\

We wouldn't buy records by ugly groups," John has said.


and so say all of us :D

I do wonder if a few quotes are originally from other interviews (e.g. "do we have to play these things"), but geeze this is an interesting read! Showing its age or lack of research in a few places, talking about JT's 'new tatt' etc... "dating young model-actress Meredith Ostrom" she's not young, come on, she was 27 at least two years ago. :evil

thanks RO, i really enjoyed this... it's been a grayyyyte ten minutes :D
