That's a big Billy Idol fan over it and my punk name was Johnny spasm
Yeah, I'm proud of it.
I'm here to rock and roll ladies and gentlemen.
Let me tell you that much
I did the only is still with me fortunately, but let's go back to the you still got a sense of humor almost
Let's go back to the accent
Has it has it changed the way you feel about things on my night was it was a particularly nasty scrape and you know
It could have been worse than it was obviously
Have you changed your life because of it in any way?
It doesn't look like it does it it doesn't look like it, but I'm asking you whether it has or not.
_ I
Don't know not really.
I mean thank God.
I had a life that I was already enjoying to get better for
Now I read one quote that your mom said that you are now as a result of it.
You're now born again Christian
Yeah, I think you heard her wrong.
It was it wasn't born again.
It was I was into porn again _
_ _ _ _ _ But only Christian porn I should imagine yeah exactly
You don't go down with me well, let's go back.
We you mentioned my I was a punk
I mean I was a particularly ineffectual and weedy one, but I was something of a punk
_ _ But I do I kind of miss those days I look back on them with nostalgia do you is there anything about them that you miss
Well, I'm still sort of living it out really so
You know what I mean?
Music was what I wanted to be involved in then and ended up still doing it now
Well, let's have a look we're gonna look at some of you with your latest work in a minute
But I'd like to look back on those housing days if I may when you were of course

[G] _ _ _ _ _ [N] Now I said I was a bit of punk a mom.
I don't think it was my parents
So how this tower see what you're gonna ask me these questions _
You can't ask your own questions
Myself earlier
What did your parents think of that period I mean what do they think you've been a punk well, I think
Well my dad really hated it at first, but once I got the record contract
Thought of it differently right I'll some next one.
Oh [G] no
Don't you go getting bossy on me Billy?
So now generation X will split up and you went on I mean really I know they've all done other things
But you're you're the biggest success story out of them
Just fire away.
Will you because he's been a kid _
But you went now why do you think you went on to the biggest success?
What was it about you that that allowed you to survive because generation X weren't like the most credible of punk bands
_ Well, I don't think that's got anything to do with it
I think all the people I know are still making music and that's all the mad
we only did it for a laugh and for the fun of it and the hell of it and
That's probably why you liked it.
Just rather.
I expect you're
Grooming yourself to take over from tell right now.
No no no I've got a lot of weight to put on first
[D] _ Lose a bit of hair
Why did you go to the States?
I mean how did you come to we settle over there?
But once generation X broke up it didn't seem much used just hanging around being a
Somebody who's a bit of a has-been
Seemed a lot better to go somewhere else where as far as I knew I was complete non-entity and start again
That's what I did and did you have to I mean obviously you say something you have to change much
You look at my balls or something
_ Keeps [G] looking right
_ _ _ _ I mean you know Jonathan I knew you like that
[N] _ _ _ _ _ What do you like generation all I was doing the world the pretty I'm a fan of is I just wanted to check you

But it's your first album about four and a half five years.
I mean you're not exactly prolific
Why does it take you so long?

When the most was he said credible incredible of punk bands, so why the hell should I put a record out any sooner?
