No Rock And Roll Fun

HAINES AND MISERY: There's a brief but nice interview with Luke Haines on BBC News Online in which he's challenged that he's the Victor Meldrew of pop (which, of course, he doubly isn't - he's not grim and miserable, and nor is Meldrew, a man disappointed by the shortcomings of the world, not railing against them) and concludes that "my output as a whole is a rollercoaster romp of good slapstick entertainment." And a bit of twisted sex and death, of course.
