Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream shares his lack of love for the common people and their musical tastes.

From the current issue of the UK music magazine NME, here's an excerpt from Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie waxing elequent on the little-known John Phillips solo album JOHN, THE WOLFKING OF L.A.:
''Most of the records I like never gained the wider recognition.....I guess you could call them cult records, which I think should've been massive and sold millions.  Maybe they're too good to sell millions...most people in the world are f---ing dull and I think the records that sell millions are made by dull people and bought by dull people.  They're really f---ing straight and boring.  The really interesting, individual records become cult records because it's an acquired taste and it's maybe too out there for most people to process."

The above seems like stunted thinking to me, because there are those occasions when "interesting, individual records" do intersect with mass tastes and go on to sell millions (one could think of the Steve Albini/Nirvana collaboration IN UTERO as one example).

But, in a lot of cases, people merely like what they're told by mass media/advertisers they should like.  Doesn't mean they're completely "f---ing dull"--as Mr. Gillespie so humanistically remarks.
