I Loved Rap, Especially In The Early Days. But I Wasn't Trying To Shove It Down Anybody's Throats.

I Get Starstruck Really Easily. I Love Music So Much - It Sounds So Silly To Say That - So If I'm Playing A Festival And Somebody I Love, Like [primal Scream's] Bobby Gillespie, Is There In The Backstage Area, I'm Like, "wow This Is Amazing! There They Are!"
