"Journalist. That was the bad thing about the New Journalism. Cop a bit of Tom Wolfe or Hunter S. Thompson, get a bit of ellipsis down your grammatical throat and any fuckwit could sound cool and intelligent and actually did. Despite having the sense and sensibilities of a bucket of silage, any modern music journalist with a grasp of the new prose could hold his own as a knowing counter-culture hero and guardian of the gates of fame. Tossers. Silence is, of course, the lesson. The press are frequently the most dizzyingly incompetent arseholes that God has put on this earth. The mistake is to reply to them".
A cinco años de la muerte de Tony Wilson, uno de tantos extractos de su libro 24 Hour Party People: What the Sleeve Notes Never Tell You, libro que ya he recomendado y deberían buscar inmediatamente aquí si son fanáticos de la música.
