Very cool interview of Johnny thanks to the questions of the interviewer.
He talks about the chance he had to grow up with young adults. He talks about the importance of a hook, nearly every Smiths song starts with a guitar hook, and a lot of Smiths songs like Sheila Take a Bow are almost glam rock. His admiration for Marc Bolan, "Jeepster" is almost lo-fi. Bolan was little, he completely understood him, the vibe, the androgyny,
He talks about Roxy Music, and his love for unusual voices, Bryan Ferry is one of his all-time favorite singers, huge fan of Siouxsie when she came along, still listen to Siouxsie several times a week.
He still vividly remembers his first Patti Smith concert, first row, he was 14, he was transported to somewhere else. The Only Ones was a band for him. The influences of your heroes become yours.
Pop culture. That was a really satisfying thing with the Smiths : gatecrashing in the mainstream, Top of the Pops. Thanks to the outsiders.
A really inspiring conversation.
