The musician shares his favorite creative works that have inspired and shaped his imagination over the years, spanning literature, music, and personal moments with family. When asked about a standout work from the last forty years, he mentions The Man with the Golden Arm, a novel by Nelson Algren, which he considers an incredible read. While he didn't enjoy the 1955 film adaptation, starring Frank Sinatra as a recovering drug addict and drummer, he admits the movie's soundtrack is remarkable. It features a classic film noir style with jazzy, percussive elements, and he is happy to say he loves it. This work has been a constant in his life and will remain so. If he were to choose someone for the cover of Inrocks, he would pick Christian Fevret, the founder of the publication. Fevret started Inrocks from his room, and the musician believes Fevret should be given a platform to talk about the many interviews he conducted over his first thirty years. These included legendary figures like Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith, The Clash, and Morrissey. He believes simply letting Fevret speak would be enough to celebrate his contributions. Among today's groups he would like to see interviewed, he names a Dutch band called Real Farmer. He finds them incredible, though they rarely give interviews. They are described as anti-media and anti-capitalist, yet they express thoughtful and meaningful ideas. He calls them "interesting angry Dutch people," and he thinks it would be worthwhile to try and understand them better. The musician also recalls poignant images from the past forty years. One moment that stays with him is when he sees his young daughter on the side of the stage, with the dogs, watching him during a powerful part of a song. She calls out to him, urging him to "hurry up, stop being an idiot, we have to go play!" These moments with his dogs are also significant. For instance, his brown dog, Gladys, sits in front of him during acoustic performances, creating a silhouette that adds to the atmosphere. These are small but beautiful memories that have shaped his life. The 40th anniversary edition of Inrockuptibles features testimonies from over 250 artists and actors who share their memories of the publication, offering a rich reflection on its cultural impact over the decades.
