    To all the haters - these guys still make their interviewers squirm in the presence of their combined raw intelligence and humility - they're a success by their own measure - they are their own experience!!

      It's rude and points to hidden agendas of a person if you wear sunglasses indoors and also whilst talking to people up close. It's human respect to be eye to eye in a conversation. Speaks volumes of nicky

    Salty, ideologising complains aside; it's nice and rather heart-warming to see James and Nick enjoying their legacy and unanimous public acceptance. Very few people could make music that's both emotionally and sociopolitically aware for as long as they have without becoming a pigeonholed act, relevant only and exclusively for what they did back during a long gone era - not to mention their artistic merits: Nick is a superbly versatile lyricist and James is an all-around virtuous musician, perhaps one of the most technically talented in British mainstream music for the past three decades.
    Art isn't just a platform for political vindication, but a very experientially demanding profession as well. The album's title and lyrics are quite explicit in that respect, forgiveness is all over them, both intimately and interpersonally. They deserve to enjoy what they've achieved, just let them be to their maturity.

    Like all great artists, they’re out of place, out of time, uncomfortable everywhere, making others uncomfortable, upsetting us all, moving us all, saying things we don’t really understand but think might be true, lifting us all up, making us challenge our preconceptions, lifting us all. Gifted gifted people.
