That is the new “play the fookin’ bass” anthem. Alma...
Katy Krassner: What’s your favorite thing about being on the road? John Taylor: Well, playing every night. I love it, it’s like, all the noise in my head stops for two hours. For the most part, I don’t have to think about, has Atlanta done her homework, or has my Dad gotten home yet? You know, all these things that you’re so aware of, just being a functioning member of...
