Quote of the Weekend : The Inventory -- Ray Davies Interview by Hester Lacy, FT Magazine (Financial Times), June 3, 2011

 

Ray Davies, 66, was lead singer and songwriter for The Kinks and has been a successful solo artist since they disbanded in 1996. He was appointed CBE in 2004 for services to music.

  2. The entire interview is very good; when Ray is on, he's on. The upcoming Meltdown Festival, which I was prepared to sort of decry a bit (we sometimes hate it when our heroes begin having equestrian statues erected in their honor, which Ray certainly has), looks like it will be pretty incredible. I wish I were in London this month with a lot of free time and money. (Actually, I always feel that way.) Here's the link to the whole piece:
