Der NME muss seinen Lesern auch erklären, wer Ray Davies ist. Noch Fragen?

Bedenke bitte auch den niedrigeren Altersdurchschnitt bei den englischen Schreiberlingen. Hier ein schönes Zitat von Peter Buck aus dem auch ansonsten exzellenten Buch „In Their Own Write – Adventures In The Music Press“ (Paul Gorman):

„I get a kick out of the English Mags, because they´re always hiring a new generation of kids to write. They always have 23-year-olds who´ve never heard of The Beatles. It changes the way, the music business is over there. Here, people still can remember the Talking Heads when they were a brand-new band…“ und weiter „…but there is a lack of critical background. You read these things – „This performance by the Manic Street Preachers was the best performance ever.“ You read a real lot of those. Guys who are third on the bill get that. And then you buy the records and go, „This is second-rate Clash“….
