(Now Playing) Bobby Gillespie - Episode 2 of 8

Feb 18, 2008

Ian chats with Bobby Gillespie about psychic dessication and stuff. In this edition of Soft Focus, Ian talks to Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream . Bobby details his musical pedigree, from Altered Images hanger-on, to replacement-bassist for the Wake, to standing JAMC drummer. They speak about the mythologies of rock music and the perils of nationalism. With Ian Bobby rallies against me-me-me-culture, why it’s important to be an extroverted musician, and Bobby tips us off to the other meaning of “Bomb the Pentagon.”
