Townshend speaks
Dec. 17th, 2008 06:26 pmПит ис факин сайкик! (ин а сэнс ов clairvoyance)
Из интервью 68 года (судя по всему - зимнему) журналу Rolling Stones
- What is going to happen to rock & roll?
- I'm looking to a couple of people. I've heard some of the Rolling Stones' tracks, and although I dig them I don't think they're anything more than what they are which in incredible, delicious and wonderful rock & roll and well overdue from them. The Rolling Stones should always be a nonprogressive group. I don't think that the Rolling Stones should be concerned with what they're doing in pop. That's what I dig about them.
Dylan, for example, could create a new thing. I think if he made his next record with the Big Pink, that could be interesting. That might create some new things in rock & roll. Dylan's thing about writing the lyric and then picking up the guitar up and just pumping out the song as it comes out is a direct guide to what will happen in music.
Отвечая на вопрос почему все-таки англия (всем понятно о чем я говорю, нэ?)
Europe is a piss place for music, and it's a complete incredible fluke that England has got all the bad points of Nazi Germany, all the pompous pride of France, all the old-fashioned patriotism of the old Order of the Empire. It's got everything that's got nothing to do with music. All the European qualities which should enhance, which should come out in music, England should be able to benefit by, but it doesn't.
And just all of a sudden, bang! wack! zap-swock out of nowhere. There it is: the Beatles. Incredible. How did they ever appear then on the poxy little shit-stained island? Out of the Germans you can accept Wagner; out of the French you can accept Debussy; and even out of the Russians you can accept Tchaikovsky. All these incredible people. Who's England got? Purcell? He's a gas, but he's one of the only guys we've got, and Benjamin Britten today who copies Purcell. There's so few people.
Также надо заметить, что пит - та еще болтушка :) Я одно это нещасное интервью читала больше полутора часов. И не сказать бы что надолго отвлекалась. Эта падла несмотря ни на что очень увлекательно рассказывает :)))
(still have no proof that thing i longing for really had a place, though. more articles to come, yay!)
