from the Ice Age to the dole age
Slow news day and I found myself thinking about the songwriting dynamics of the solo band - particularly how much Boz Boorer seems to have slid sharply down the hierarchy in 20-odd years. I like Boz and I know he’s the solo stalwart, the reliable pair of hands etc - but look at his album co-writes since Maladjusted:
It makes me wonder what Moz privately thinks of BB’s songwriting ability - and what Boz thinks about so much of his stuff being 'passed over'. It often feels like as time passes, Boz is less and less involved with the creative part of the band and more involved with the logistics and the technical aspects of directing the musicians, supporting producers, sorting out tour stuff, etc. Has he become the warehouse manager of the Moz world?
