I Used To Be A Great Blues

I Live 50 Miles From London And We've Got Some Of The Highest Levels Of Teenage And Childhood Poverty In The Country. It's Disgusting. Just Because It's A Rural Area, It Gets Forgotten.

You Know, I Was A School Rebel. Whatever They Said Do, I Didn't Do. I Was Totally Anti-everything.

I Never Understood That If You Sweat As Much As I Used To Every Night, You Drain Your Body Of Salts. So I Got Very, Very, Seriously Ill. I Got To The Stage Where I Was Almost Hospitalized With Serious Problems.

My Feeling Was That I Simply Didn't Have The Enthusiasm To Do Reinvention.

First Of All, You Have To Understand That I'm Like Anybody Else. When I Hear My Voice On A Record I Absolutely Loathe My Voice. I Cannot Stand My Voice.
