🍭 Roger McGough: “I never kidded myself about my music, I would be in the same recording studios as the likes of Jimi Hendrix, but as soon as he picked up an instrument it was very clear he was a musician and I wasn't."
“It was exciting hanging out with Keith Moon and Jimi Hendrix, but I wasn’t cut out for the promiscuity of rock’n’roll.”
"When I was part of a music group and meeting Keith Moon and Jimi Hendrix, I felt excited about it but I never felt part of it. When they were passing the joints round on the coach on the way back from a gig, I was always the one who said no."
