“I’ve always wondered how punks feel about aging… Without wishing to be unkind, an old punk is just somehow so at odds - at what point do you relinquish your commitment to the aesthetic? I feel that more generally with musicians- being a musician is such a youthful game. As the great Elizabeth Bishop put it - there’s nothing more embarassing than being a poet - and in my experience, it gets more embarassing with age. No amount of hair dye, tailored jacket or leather trouser can turn back time.”
