FOO FIGHTERS
Twenty-five years on, Dave Grohl and co return to the mid-’90s’ post-Kurt crunch, when success was far from
assured. Plus! US alt-rock’s broader crisis, the Foos’ new film (with Ringo!) and new album news.

ART GARFUNKEL
The eccentric top end of the disharmonious duo rues his Bad Timing and regrets S&G’s untaken
Irish direction. “I’m trying to be normal,” he insists.

PUNK IN LONDON
Sheila Rock’s photographs of Lydon, Strummer, Siouxsie (and incinerated human remains?) recreate a scene that was shot through with innocence and idealism.

MARGO PRICE
Obscurity and family trauma were the neo-outlaw country star’s formative ordeals. But neither is
success stress-free: “I still don’t know why I’m here!”

JOHN ENTWISTLE
Fellow musicians regarded The Who’s bassist with awe; fellow carousers thought him unfellable. But the rock star life he loved had his number in the end.

THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN
How the battling bros of ’80s UK indie survived the Psychocandy shitstorm to prove doubters wrong on
Darklands: “We thought, Let’s make an album about the songs.”

JARVIS COCKER
Sex, cave art, Britpop: an eclectic smorgasbord of topics is served by the ex-Pulp frontman, back with
his best music since the mid-’90s.

1970: THE GREAT DIVIDE
James Taylor or the MC5? Supine singer-songwriters or revolting rockers? Jon Savage relives 1970 – the first year rock seriously considered its past, and future.
