Trevor had a successful run through the mid-eighties, but renounced the hedonistic ways of rock and roll in the pursuit of a higher spiritual existence. Meet Trevor Graves, retired and dropped-out folk-rock star and the unwittingly corruptive influence in Songs from the Phenomenal Nothing. That way, their breakthroughs of genuine emotion and true humanity within are sweetly unexpected - winning surprises all the way through.Īnd if, while all of it happens, they choose to dress like inebriated circus performers who managed to find life beyond Thunderdome, so much the better. I like my rock stars to hide their heartbreak beneath a healthy slathering of false bravado and artificial swagger.
I expect them to be a little corrupt, slightly morally bankrupt and more than a bit filterless when expressing themselves. Who wants to see rock stars with stable marriages or coflict-free interactions with others or the ability to censor themselves when speaking on camera? I know I don’t. Their instability and volatility and id-driven everything are the draw.
In fact, if they were good influences, they wouldn’t be rock stars.
Nobody ever said rock stars were good influences on the youth of the world.
