Well, pop people use it.

I suppose, ... but that's why they get it wrong. That's why they wouldn't play Take Me Out on the radio at first, because according to pop theory, it isn't a hit. It starts with one song and changes into another. In theory, it's all wrong. The same with Do You Want To.

until we read about them in all our reviews. Then when we checked them out we thought, 'What a great band. What a radical approach to playing.'

[The Kinks'] Ray Davies had that great symbiotic relationship between the music and the emotional content of the lyric. Think of 'Waterloo Sunset.' It had all those great backing vocals, and that change of key from major to minor that gives it such soaring poignancy.
