I just received an email asking me where I am from. Maybe it is a little over optimistic, but hopefully they are interested in at least one of my questions.
Can somebody tell me when this will be published in the Independent? Jules' post says next Wednesday, but when I followed the link yesterday, I read it would be next Monday and now I can't find the article anymore...
He answered my question about Bono. I had also asked the one about charity shops, but obviously they weren't going put me down twice. He also answers Scottie's question about another album. Disappointing answer - no rush indeed! Did you see the response to ArrGee's question?
Do you still consider yourself a musician? You were recently quoted saying "The music ones (awards) are the ones that count for me because that's what I think I do." But you have only made one album in the last 14 years.

It is worth buying the actual paper. A four page spread, lots of pics, including a FULL page head and shoulders shot. Shame,no album this year, but I guess he is the kind of guy who has to write from experience and if he is not ready... He obviously does not think that Independent readers know about his albums. He is probably right.
Yes, they did, it is on there. Have a look, he said the most beautiful and the most horrific were the same thing - human dignity. I thought it was you. Good question!
