then…Broke his back[and chest bone] November 1991,Nearly died…Which led to the wilderness years.But still came back with the best album of his life.
[Mike Joyce from the Smiths drumming…]at the end of century 20,Sony spent about £1,000,000 on ‘Songs of strength and heartbreak’.Then dropped him![I know…sony rock’n’roll-But I like it!]And it got the best reviews of his life.

he may have sometimes done the wrong thing,But always for the right reasons.

don’t just take my word for it;Ask Alan McGee[creation records/the libertines]
ask Peter Hook[joy division/new order]Ask Mick Jones![the clash]
