Reverend And The Makers chat to I Like Music


It's like people are more bothered about texting in to Celebrity Big Brother and Celebrity Come Dancing, than what happened Baghdad and that's really sad. You know that tune by The Stranglers, No More Heroes Anymore? I feel that's more appropriate than ever. Where is our generation of Bob Marley and John Lennon and Joe Strummer? They're nowhere to be found. Well, there are some people, but they're mainly established artists like Ian Brown and Damon Albarn; guys who I've met and done stuff with and I like them, they're cool guys and are trying to say something…but new artists, where are the new artist heroes?

I think often I've been the host of my own downfall because I'm quite candid. So if someone asks me a question about drugs I'll tell 'em the truth, but I don't understand the culture of bragging about your drug intake, that's not sending a good message out. I'm pretty libertarian: do what you want, take drugs if you want, I've taken 'em myself but I don't need to brag about it in an interview, it's not interesting.

If you were to take an 'e' or toke on a spliff, I've not done it for anyone else's benefit, I'm doing it for my own reasons. I just don't understand bragging about drugs, that's never made sense to me that.

["Last question please…" says the PR lady]

JON: Big Brother!
