EGO CLASHING
I would like to reply to Stuart Broughton’s obvious dig and displeasure at the Desert Road Band playing the so-called top spot at Mountain Rock 111. Sounds to me like a kid whingeing at the dinner table ‘cause his sister got more chips on her plate. Childish, isn’t it? (You weren’t the only one whinging, so don’t take it personally.) Perhaps the reason we played that time slot is, we asked to! What was wrong? Didn’t we deserve a go ‘cause we wash and don’t have pierced belly buttons? Sure, we were a band that didn’t have a record deal. I thought the Festival was a place for showcasing kiwi bands, not a place for backstabbing and ego clashing by wannabe rock star wankers and the like! The sooner the jealousy and bullshit disappears, the sooner kiwi music will succeed.
Gordon Barrell, Desert Road Band, Wellington.
