2009 Tartan Clef Awards
"I followed Mott the Hoople up and down the country. I'd go to Liverpool or Newcastle or somewhere - sleep on the Town Hall steps, bunk the fares on the trains, hide in the toilet when the ticket inspector came around. I'd jump off just before the train got to the station and climb over the fence. It was great times, and I always knew I wanted to be in a band and play guitar. That was it for me."
- Mick Jones (The Clash)
