“Why did you give up on your relationship with PJ Harvey in the 90s?
Nick responds:
. . . The truth of the matter is that I didn’t give up on PJ Harvey, PJ Harvey gave up on me. There I am, sitting on the floor of my flat in Notting Hill, sun streaming through the window (maybe), feeling good, with a talented and beautiful young singer for a girlfriend, when the phone rings. I pick up the phone and it’s Polly.
“Hi,” I say

I'm a bit embarrassed that I never fully appreciated just how damn good he was on the gi-tar while he was with us. But, hey, at least I got there. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"

I'm sure it's great. Started to play it but they cut to Kid Rock and my fingers just reflexively closed the browser window. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know
