Amphetamine

Rock 'n' roll isn't what it was supposed to be. Drowned into narcissism, its everending nothingness, posers instead of artists etc...Then there's Steve. Far from iconic. Not his "generation voice". A man in between. Of What? I went to see his London show some years ago. Alone. @ The Borderline. He reminded of an energy I thought was gone. A "youth I'd thrown away". A lyricism I'd traded for sarcasm through my academic "daze". A genuine love for the beat I was so sure I'd mastered and lost in in between. Suddenly I switched a Wilco lyric in mind: "If I ever was myself ... I really was that night...". Here's to the Miracle 4 then!
