The Complete, Unexpurgated, Fully Illustrated DAVE EDMUNDS Story From A TO Z

"Everybody say yeah!"—Ray Charles

CREEM: So are you happy with the new record?

DAVE EDMUNDS: Yeah. I think it's better than the last one and better than Get It. CREEM: So this is a Dave Edmunds and Rockpile tour?

DAVE: No. We're trying to shake off all that. On the contract it's supposed to be Rockpile featuring Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe. But usually the promoters do what they think's best.

CREEM: So are you still subscribing to the theory that three minutes is best for a pop song?

DAVE: Oh, yeah. Always have been. CREEM: What do you think of groups like Kansas, Yes and all that?

DAVE: Not much, I'm afraid. I've never gone for 'em. You mean, Genesis and all that? Never been taken with it at all. CREEM: So you think music should have a sense of humor?

DAVE: Ummmm, yeah.

CREEM: You don't subscribe to the "Rock As Art" school?

DAVE: No.
