“It's not where you're from, it's where you're at” --Ian Brown 🙈🙉🙊
Ian Brown (born 1963) is an English musician. He was the lead singer in the Stone Roses from their formation in 1983. Following the band's initial split in 1996, he began a solo career, releasing seven studio albums. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Brown
There was a press conference the evening before Spike Island, jam-packed with reporters from all around the world. A room full of writers anticipated a great moment from a great band, something along the lines of Dylan’s lightbulb, or Ringo’s nutty Elvis impression. At least Ian Brown might have come up with one of his chunks of Manc stoner philosophy – “It’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re at”, or “If you aim for the sky, at least you might hit the ceiling.” But it was flat, slightly aggressive, and I can’t remember anything about it other than “the police want us to finish by 11 but we’re gonna keep going”. It seemed tense, and not at all playful. Presumably, they were nervous. www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2015/may/27/stone-roses-spike-island-the-reality
