'the notion of sex, drugs, and dance-oriented, innocuous, hugely popular rock’n’roll as a formula for a decades-long career in some ways died with Hutchence.

I may have been experiencing some kind of down-vibe during the recording process. So, I thought I'd harness yet again the power of digital transcription services and include some of my most relevant (edited) 'insights' here. DP: I’ve listened to ‘Sunbury 97’ a few times in […]
