Why Alex James will never give up music

People ask me sometimes if I still do any music and I always tell them that music is a garden and, once you’ve been there, you never stop going back. It’s true. Then I go and talk to someone else. I know people ask my old band mate Damon the same thing sometimes, possibly just to annoy him. It is really annoying, actually. Never ask anyone who was once in a famous band if they’re still doing music, unless you want to annoy them. Of course they are. It’s heroin.
