    Why we've got Cliff Richard wrong
    View quote in context »
    Cliff reacted badly to their arrival. "All they've done is revert to rock'n'roll ... We've played the whole thing down, the screaming and the raving. The Beatles have stoked the whole thing up again … Their stuff is real homemade music." It's hard to understand his point nowadays – none of that sounds like a bad thing. Full Article at The Observer
    All they've done is revert to rock'n'roll ... We've played the whole thing down, the screaming and the raving. The Beatles have stoked the whole thing up again … Their stuff is real homemade music.

Why we've got Cliff Richard wrong
  1. Help a poor boy who's hanging in a nowhere tree.

  2. It absolutely floored me. The most amazing thing wasn't that I was having my mind blown by Cliff, it was that I was being mind-blown by a Christian rock record that sounded like a pill-ravaged Primal Scream circa Movin' on Up.

  3. The fear of Cliff is the fear of showbiz ... It's the lurking fate that all British entertainers want to avoid but usually don't. Cliff was happy to be swallowed up by showbiz. He's the only person I can think of who would have done exactly the same thing if there had been no Beatles.

  4. with Jimi Hendrix in mind. I had a Vox drum box – all I could get out of it was 'gong-CLOCK-gong-CLOCK'. Anyway, I couldn't get it to Hendrix. Mickie Most took it to Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart. Then Cliff heard an acetate and said 'Why didn't you play it to me first?'

  7. On Cliff's terms this was a continuation of his success ... It's just that by 1968 the idea of what success meant to most people had changed.

  8. They had a fling and I started drinking a bit more ... I was stood behind Cliff every night, thinking about it, but I didn't want to lose my job. I was the last to know. That shit was all over the News of the World.
