North Stars - Paddy McAloon on himself, Jimmy Nail, and Alan Hull

[fralust]

Paddy is a very nice chap that produced some rather bland music, and even though he wasn't knocking Paul Weller in a nasty way one bit, it's plain which of the two made a greater impression.

Generally, you have to have an edge in pop music, something Paddy never had. Even Dylan and Lennon, two "nice peaceful" guys were extremely abrasive and acerbic in their own way.

It's like the Tao Te Ching says. The master can know the whole universe without travelling.

@SuzLa1 That's once he is a master and one cannot become a master without first traveling.
