Hoses of the Holy in the Parallel Universe

December 05, 2003

Here's one then

I'm no fan of The La's, and don't subscribe to the "There She Goes" greatest record ever myth, but it's nice that there are still people around prepared to walk away.

And not come back.

And not come back, which is the important thing. Because you know without even thinking about it that, were J D Salinger to suddenly publish a new novel tomorrow, it would be rubbish. The Thin Red Line was not as good as Badlands, and never could be. And Double Fantasy was awful. Not in a good way.

To walk away and never to return, that is the object. That way, you've won, and they don't get to release and rerelease quantiturds of your not-so-good material to embarrass you for the rest of your life.
