An intelligent popstar is such a rare sight that seeing one is tremendously uplifiting.
Such unique occasion presented itself on 27 April at the Hardtalk Extra of the BBC World, where Gavin Esler interviewed Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys. What a great, warm-hearted man!
Here are some of the highlights (as I remember them):
Q: Why do you play pop music?
A: Well, pop is short for popular.
Q: Do you represent the gay movement?
A: Sexuality is far too categorised. People are not that simple.
Q: Why were you so vague about your sexual orientation in the beginning?
A: People want to construct their popstars themselves.
I hope they put the whole interview online soon.
