"Boys were often to be found on their knees before this icon, praying to be made into pop stars and for release from a lifetime as a motor-mechanic, or a clerk in an insurance firm, or a junior architect. But apart from Charlie, none of us had high expectations; we had a combination of miserable expectations and wild hopes. Myself, I only had wild hopes."
- 'The Buddha of Suburbia', Hanif Kureishi.
Teenage years in suburbia; bittersweet. Pious worship of popular and alternative culture, drunk on a cocktail of naivety and sexual desire. Drugs and desperation to become something, someone, in the quest of things which matter.
Music- Everything But The Girl- Missing.
