It has been a pleasure to play with all these artists. Pretenders was a real highlight, but also Damon, aka Badly Drawn Boy, Sinead... Ian Brown... all of these people I learn from and love to work with.
When I hear myself singing, I hear Iggy Pop and Jimi Hendrix. There's a conversational thing going on. I suppose it depends on which The Pretenders song you're listening to.
Even if I am but a pretender to wisdom, that in itself is philosophy.
Bring on all the pretenders!
I've always been a Pretenders. I'm very excited about this.
