This would make a fun on going column, right? Helen Bach wrote one about Chrissie Hynde yesterday Some big time rock star gives a big interview but not to rock nyc? The list is almost endless, we could do it forever. Indeed, the shortest column would be So and So gives a big interview but too us. Hell, we couldn’t even get Soupy Campbell to sit down and speak to us! Not to short shrift the many people who have (Hiya Marshall, hiya the Rocket Summer) but just to take advantage of all the people who haven’t.
The latest in the long long list is Lily Allen, who I am gonna see at Highline next May but who has refused our many attempts to interview her. Let me rephrase: we’ve never attempted but IF WE DID she would. Instead she spoke to Billboard here and here is the money quote: “I’m a homemaker. People are really shocked when they come to my house in the country because I’m literally like, candles everywhere, flower arranging and bottles of water next to everyone’s beds. I mean, ridiculous. It’s not something people would usually associate me with. But I do love that.”
What else.
Here parents broke u when she four years old.
She left home for Ibiza to sell ecstasy but only on a part time basis when she was fifteen years old.
She told Elton John to fuck off. Which kinda makes sense, right?
She has two daughters and cried when she put them on a plane back to England.
