Damon Albarn:
He had such a profound effect on my life, I don’t know where to start.
Joey Santiago, Pixies:
We’ve had the privilege and pleasure to meet him: He was humorous, humble, effortlessly genuine. He invited us to have dinner with him. [We] had Indian food. I sat next to him! He admired the way I played simple lines for the sake of the song.
He paid for dinner and I had to peek at his credit card. Seemed like he wanted all to see that he is Davy Jones. He was Davy Jones that night. Glad we met one of the nicest human beings on the planet. He’ll be the first man on Mars. RIP.
Brett Anderson, Suede:
