Alan McGee: I'm a house dad and not a legend

Alan would have to go to the dentist on Friday, so the time was rather limited... But you know what? That was nice after all! Quick, short responses, without much promotion...

Alan would have to go to the dentist on Friday, so the time was rather limited (I hope that we will talk 'on air' also soon)... But you know what? That was nice after all! Quick, short responses, without much promotion... I enjoyed the conversation with him.

1. First of all Alan, can you tell me some details about 'Upside Down'? Can’t wait to see the movie, really.
A: It's getting premiered in October doing all the film festivals then coming out as a dvd next march

2. You're a legend of course. The real deal (laughs!) you know. So, after so many bands, so many records, what’s left?
I'm a house dad really so being a legend is great but I ' m not.

3. CREATION, a record company, ok. But on the other hand, a DREAM came true. Very rare, very cool, very wonderful. Was about 'keep dreaming' & keep fighting after all? You know. What kept you going I mean Alan?
A: Sex and magic

Alan McGee4. Time for my silly question. But I have to ask.. Can you mention your most favourite CREATION Records?
A: Just 5 records..or something.al the oasis and scream records and fan club records they were all great.

5. Peter Hook told me that he is still missing John Peel. We're close to another 'John Peel Day' any comment? What do you think now about Peel?
A: I never really knew him but I liked the idea of him

6. I think that here’s music and there are the myths. So we have to keep the balance going. I am talking about the music business off course. Do you think so really?
A: I hate the music business so I left.

7. I really love OASIS. Is there an inside story (laughs!) from the old days?
A: Not any I can tell you.

8. Any advice for a young musician? For a true legend like you are, for the end?
A: Become a hairdresser.
