You can't put a load of rockstars up on a stage and expect to wipe out global poverty. That's ludicrous.
We were able to provide housing to all who need it. We've had incredibly generous offers from alumni for housing.
Rock 'n' roll is about music. Music. Music. Music. It's not about you, it's not about me, it's not about Oasis. It's about the tunes.
I don't think people need to know what colour socks I'm wearing today; I don't think people need to know what shower gel I'm using. There's too much information in the world, and there's no magic or mystery anymore.
