Kaufman" Subject: [AVALON] Rotten taste in music From a Spinner online interview with John Lydon: What was the first record you remember making a big impact on you? The best I ever heard was 'Virginia Plain,' by Roxy Music. I thought that was unlike anything I'd heard on radio ever. Whoosh, tore my head off. I was working on a building site at the time because I needed the money to continue my education -- education to me is vital. And that did wonders; it really, really thrilled me, that record. I was 15 and it gave me encouragement. It was just so damn original. It was in your face and it was over-the-top grandiose. It was a mad amalgamation of things and it's image was many, many images. But it allowed you to use your mind inside the song and work it out to be whatever you wanted. That was fantastic. I'd just been thrown out of school for being a problem child; for example, I asked questions past exams, therefore I had to be gotten rid of. Then I had to save the money up because there was no such thing as a grant for my kind of working-class kid to go back to college and finish my exams, which I did.
