Reverend And The Makers chat to I Like Music
We're doing alright, but we'd probably do better if I signed to a major record label and I'd not said all these things, and I played the game a little bit more, but that's not who I am. It often strikes me how people like Joe Strummer or Bob Marley or John Lennon would feel if they looked at the world today and the lack of people not speaking out. I reckon they'd be spinning in their graves. We're posthumously praising these people for trying to stop Vietnam or the Cold War, but our modern day Vietnam is happening right now, but nobody is making any real attempt to stop it which is really sad I think.
ILM: If you had a dinner party or went for a pub lunch with Bob Marley, Lenny Bruce, Joe Strummer, John Lennon and Muhammed Ali… what questions would you ask them? What would you talk about?
JON: I'd ask them what I should do when I'm on a war march and my ex girlfriends getting pushed on the floor and kicked by policeman and I speak out against it, and then NME wrote that it were revolutionary clichés, so I'd ask how to you come back from the hurt you feel when people question your integrity? What do you do? Because it's a real body blow when people question how genuine you are, I take that as a real personal affront. It hurts me quite a lot that, because if you don't like my music then at least accept that I'm for real.
