To be useful is a curious prayer. Unromantic. A little dull even, but it’s at the heart of who we are and why we’re still here as a band. Men who met as boys. Men who have broken the promise that’s at the very heart of rock ’n’ roll, which is that you can have the world but in return the world will have you. You can have your messiah complex, but you must die on a cross aged thirty-three, or everyone has the right to ask for their money back. We’ve turned them down. So far.
