JDB and emails
Apologies if someone has already posted about this (I did do a search!) but I just randomly came across this interview with Cate Le Bon (Lets Go To War) and this bit tickled me:
>>I was doing stuff with Manic Street Preachers last year, and it turned out that James Dean Bradfield has never had an email address, just a crap old Nokia phone. He asked me a while ago when my record was coming out, and I said Id send him a link. He looked horrified and said, Nah, Ill just go out and buy it, Cate. How brilliant is that? Thats just not his world, and people have to respect it because he wont budge. Im so jealous of that.<< Bless him  Missy x

Way back in 1993 James mentioned in an Melody Maker interview that "Computers erode the soul". I can understand him not doing social media and for that I applaud him. Yet it must be really difficult to conduct your business affairs without having email.

You know how every group of friends has that guy who won't do Facebook so everyone has to call them up personally to tell them stuff?
James is that guy.

 One of my best friends keeps resisting the mobile phone. It is very irritating. When you say you will meet them at 2pm you have to be there at 2pm!

They go in and out of having a mobile....one extreme or the other really. It is either top of the range hyper modern or 'use the landline'!
