The best riff Johnny Marr ever wrote, according to Johnny Marr
Where it all began.
1984
The 1984 song Eddie Van Halen knew his band hated: “Nobody wanted anything to do with it”
The right song for the wrong crowd.
“It’s so bad”: the 1984 comedy movie Roger Ebert called “the absolute pits of this genre”
No laughs to be found.
The 1984 movie that turned the Coen brothers against Hollywood: “Feel free to call me”
The studios weren’t impressed.
The 1984 classic Bruce Springsteen regrets as too pop: “It forced me”
“It went as far in the direction of pop music as I wanted to go…”
The 1984 U2 song The Edge said they couldn’t match: “Never as good”
That one magical take never heard again.
