Buddy Holly – ‘Love Is Strange’

Buddy Holly invented pop music. Sexton is also big on Buddy and we did a version of ‘Love Is Strange’. It’s a great title. I came into pre-Beatles rock & roll in about 1971, after The Beatles had split up and Hendrix was dead. I thought music wasn’t really any good anymore, so I started listening old rock & roll. I didn’t like glam or any of the seventies stuff. My pals got into Bowie and my brother started liking Queen, but I didn’t. I went and saw Slade play, who were okay, but I preferred the rock & roll revival shows, which were all rubbish; I was just desperate to try and find something and that’s why punk rock worked for me.
