It’s all about context. There are two kinds of music makers as far as I can see. On the one hand you have traditionalists for whom preserving a tradition is more important that passing trends. People might update the tradition a little but this path is really all about authenticity, history etc. On the other hand you have people who relate more to the general context of creativity in any given time. Americans tend to be much more obsessed with tradition than Brits. I’ve personally had enough of people’s dubious claims for authenticity (I’m not just talking about folk music here, “urban” , heavy metal & punk amongst many others are just as guilty of this). If I get exited but what’s going on in music in general I’m influenced by it. It’s just as simple as that. BYT: You are one of the more distinctive rhythm guitar players in post punk history (and not recognized for it much like Bernard Sumner in New Order) but I noticed you primarily sang last time I saw you live – how much guitar are
