I didn’t like the fact that hierarchies had developed between what people thought was ‘serious’ rock music and pop music— that was all rubbish. I was very uncomfortable with that. That was exactly the kind of situation I thought our generation had got rid of. I’ve always admired pop music, because I think it’s the modern post-industrial folk music. Everybody can join in, you don’t have to be a specialist. You can sing along with it. But there’s not much room in pop music for all the things I want to do. It’s a bit like food: I like all kinds of interesting food, but in the end, I can just sit down with an egg sandwich and really feel great.
Robert Wyatt.

    That’s a nice cuddly quote — and a part of me agrees with Mr. Wyatt — but I’ve been reading Bakhtin, Laclau and Mouffe...
