““Remember, rock stars become rock stars because they are inveterate insecure attention-seeking babies and you may have written a couple of half-decent couplets and memorable tunes, amidst the doggerel and mud, and you really should be grateful that the public bought a couple of your songs in droves, but here’s the thing: you do not have to feel guilty, you do not have a higher calling, you just have too much time on your hands. Make more than one album every eight years, try a bit of acting. Alternately you could just remember you are a rock star and shut the fuck up, and please spare us your political insight.””
