      It doesnt mean best quality. Even though blur is my favorite band, I must admit Damon has been releasing a lot of weak music lately (actually, since humanz Id say).

    What an absolutely lovely bunch of people, so modest, so open, and so grounded. Damon gracefully embracing sadness as a natural part of the process of becoming 55 was touching.

  • @lurba
    @lurba Год назад +13

    Wow, what a fantastic band! Blur's connection to that pub is truly fascinating. Having worked for two years around the corner (and having myself a few too many pints in that pub), you must have felt the pulse of the area and its rich history. It's one of the things that make London so special-the way history and culture are interwoven into every corner of the city. Exploring such connections can bring a deeper appreciation for both the music and the place itself. London is a treasure trove of stories waiting to be discovered.

    As a Wembley-Sunday attender i'm so glad he still feels the same way about that gig after having now had some time to reflect upon it as it really was a magical time, just like last night was at the Apollo. This interview got something really good out of Damon here in his admission about his sadness. At times I just want to give him a hug, crazy really given he's 10 years older than me, hugely more successful and creative than I could ever be, just I get his point... just like the Weezer song 'all my favourite songs are slow and sad' too.
