“I'm a big fan of London in the summertime. English people are dependent on weather to change our attitudes, and, provided it's a decent summer, everyone's spirits are uplifted and the whole place is in bloom. It's a magical transformation.

“I hate the attitude of, 'oh we already have a Lydia Lunch, so we do we need a Bikini Kill.'

“In San Francisco, most of the older activists, especially at Berkeley, were very hostile towards punks. The music, certainly, wasn't nice and mellow for them, and neither was our look or our attitude.

“On the whole, it bums me out that lyrics seem to be written as afterthoughts nowadays.

“I'm fascinated with the attitude of younger rock bands, even ones that are making money at it. I don't ever hear them talk about it as a "career."

“Britain, as a pop music nation, used to have this very 'empire' kind of attitude. We used to 'invade' the world with our bands, you know? That's obviously changed, because in Europe they're much more interested in bands speaking their own language. Especially in France and Germany. They're starting to develop their own bands much more.” KnowsWorldKindUsedLanguageNationsAttitudeChangedBandEuropeStartingPopsFranceGermanyBritainEmpiresPop Music Author:James Dean Bradfield
