the caretaker interview

“This field of work is quite intellectual. But I’m not an academic. I’m not really interested. I don’t have very much to say to the musicians that I meet because we come from different worlds a lot of the time. Both of my parents are working class, and I escaped this somehow. They were somehow able to provide a middle class upbringing for me. I’m quite lucky to be in this situation. I don’t think anyone in my family can believe what I’m doing. It’s very far removed from what they think music is.” [link]
