I was listening to the latest instalment of Joe Boyd's Lucky 13 (#4), specifically the very last track he played which was Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" - my candidate for best cover version of another artist's song, ever - and I recalled a peculiarly fatuous remark Kate Rusby made in an interview (with Mike Harding on his BBC Radio 2 show, if I remember correctly).
She stated that wah-wah electric guitar playing in general was "bobbins" and that, generally, she found the use of wah pedals pointless.

These remarks are related here from memory only, unfortunately, because although I have a recording of the interview somewhere, I can't find it at present.

The fact that Jimi's use of a wah pedal on "All Along the Watchtower" particularly, and many other recordings, shows her statement itself to be "bobbins", fortunately does not detract from the fact that I personally like her music a lot. However I do wish performers would at least -try- to engage their brains properly before they release the brake on their gobs in interviews. Especially as these days everything you say on the radio etc. gets archived somewhere.

Anybody else in the massive have examples of fatuous interview remarks by artists they like? I suppose there are loads of them, now I think about it...
