I love my crazy band

Bored and reading back through old posts on The Medusa Fora.

Philip Chevron wrote, in response to an article a fan linked to:

Jem is not quite accurate when he says opera was one of our "secret" desires. It was an oft-discussed notion at one point between ourselves and Kirsty MacColl, and it mutated into a Pogues/Kirsty version of the musical West Side Story before both our record companies told us not to take so many drugs.

(Why did this never happen?)

Later in the same thread:

"Contact Yourself" no longer exists and did so only briefly. It was never a serious option to offer a 20-minute acid house track to a petrified record company who already hated the album we did deliver. But try telling that to your lead singer when he's in the middle of an acid trip. Just saying.

Paul is dead, by the way, though his delicious pasta sauce lives on.
